Stephenson:Neal:The Confusion:693:The only one who survived was one Elizabeth de Obregon (PaulJ)
From the Quicksilver Metaweb.
If this was a spanish woman, shouldn't it have been Isabel de Obregón? This is even more confusing because some pages later there's a reference to another character named Isabel Machado, so the use of Elizabeth here is clearly deliberate.
Speculations
- Consider the female leader of a band Madredeus from Portugal.
