Having it as "George, Count Brasov" is is just the same as these Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, Princess Louise, Princess Royal and Duchess of Fife, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence, Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, etc...


Also note that it way the article on his mother is titled Natalia, Princess Brassova

Brasov isn't his surname, but his title.

As to Georgy, using "George" is just the same as using "Michael" instead of "Mikail". Even when they were living in England, they went by the names "George" and "Michael".

[edit] Sources

What are the sources for this article? Can you list them under a References section? Thanks. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-06-13 15:21

The sources are mostly other Wikipedia articles, mainly Natalia, Princess Brassova, Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia and Morganatic marriage and the book The Lost Fortune of the Tsars by William Clarke and this Romanov Museum in Perm article The Death of Hope

[edit] Title

I moved this from George, Prince Brasov. Prince Gavriil Konstantinovich of Russia is not located at Grand Duke Gavriil Konstantinovich of Russia. GD Kyril's upgrading the family titles is a contested claim, as the other article states, so I think this needs to remain here. Morhange 03:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
