"She also remained a Roman Catholic, in an almost universally Orthodox country, throughout her reign."
Please check your sources! King Otto WAS a Catholic but I'm pretty sure Queen Amalia was a Protestant. - JG
[edit] Move
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was to move this page --Lox (t,c) 08:54, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
I propose that this article be moved to Amalia of Oldenburg, to keep in line with the naming conventions for deceased queen consorts. Prsgoddess187 13:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- This is an unobstructed and uncontroversial move which conforms to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (see Past Royal Consorts) and I would have moved it now, but I just wanted to check something: Why does the article title contain 'Amalia' while the article itself refers to 'Amelie' - I imagine it's something to do with the national equivalent to 'Amelie', but perhaps you'd know? Ta! --Lox (t,c) 21:57, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- Not sure why the article is Amalia and in the text she is referred to as Amalie, but it is probably the national equivalent. In that case, she should be under Amalie of Oldenburg. Prsgoddess187 22:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, if you don't mind, I'd prefer your original suggestion of Amalia of Oldenburg, since most of our article, our external link and our reference all use the name "Amalia" and to correct the spelling at the top of the article. Of course, if you or anyone else disagrees, please say so - I don't really want to speed this move through and would prefer to wait the prescribed five days. --Lox (t,c) 09:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds like a plan to me. I think Amalia is a better option as well. Prsgoddess187 12:38, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Succession Box for Consort
I am not sure this makes sense. One is consort by virtue of one's spouse's title. It is not devisable by the person themself, and it is not an "office" or title. It is a courtesy title, I think. So, I would propose that we not use a Succession Box for consorts. Thoughts?Argos'Dad 15:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- Just don't call it a succession box. I don't see the problem of having it. Charles 15:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
We already have it in British, French and Spanish consorts. Hardly a new development. User:Dimadick
