Talk:Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would anyone object to moving this to Prince Charles of Lorraine, since there have been numerous notable Charleses of Lorraine (and even numerous notable Charleses of Lorraine who were Austrian military commanders!)? john k 05:43, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

OK with me. But are you sure that none of those other Charleses are princes? An other alternative would be Charles of Lorraine (1712-1780). Eugene van der Pijll 11:52, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Moved to Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine. He was never ruler of Lorraine, therefore princely title is added per Wikipedia naming convention. Gryffindor 01:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't understand: because he never was a prince we include prince into his name, cluttering the article title?
All the reigning members of the house of Lorraine have Duke of Lorraine in their title, he doesn't. That should have been enough.Str1977 (smile back) 08:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
You mean he was not a prince? What title did he have then? Gryffindor 18:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
