Should a succession box be added to Sophie's page and that of her children as to them being in the line of Jacobite succession? There's one on the page of the current claimant, Franz, Duke of Bavaria. Should one go on the pages of his "heirs" as well? Morhange 20:22, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Republicanism

I lack both time and energy to look through each and every page that has statements such as the following:

"in 1973, her father was granted the title of Duke in Bavaria by HRH Duke Albrecht of Bavaria,"

That may very well be case, but it bears no meaning whatsoever. Germany and Bavaria are both republics, so I really don't see how the private dealings of families that used to enjoy privileges 90 years ago are to be presented as facts in an encyclopedia. Neither does Sophies father enjoy any rights as Duke in Bavaria, nor is his father really the Duke of Bavaria. There are no existant feudal titles in Germany. The above-quoted language however implies the existence and recognition of such titles in Germany

If one should ever come across this comment: that was me, and I have a related discussion on the article on Jacobitism. Blur4760 21:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

According to Michael Maclagan, Lines of Succession:

In 1965 the last of the Dukes in Bavaria, who was without heirs, adopted as his son Prince Max....

It was not Albrecht's to give. —Tamfang 06:53, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
