[edit] Titles

What's the evidence for the titles and styles? Are they actually attested in public documents? Or are they simply assumed according to some stylebook written a hundred or more years later? Given that "Hanover" does not seem to have been used in the titles of the Electors of Brunswick-Lüneburg until 1814 (when they were no longer Electors), I'd be surprised to see it used a century earlier. Not that it couldn't have been used of Sophia Dorothea (she was, after all, from Hanover) but I'd like to see a document cited. RandomCritic 04:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
