[edit] Duchy

Shouldn't it be duchy instead of dukedom, or even better just duke (or duchess) of Somewhere? --Error 01:15, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Minors

What happens if the senior heir is underage? Does the 2 year limit apply to them or does it start after they reach majority? Can their guardian apply on their behalf? (Alphaboi867)

[edit] Marques

Shouldn't it be Marques (or Marquis) instead of Marquess?


[edit] Removed text - contradictory and unclear

Legitimate and natural [Sureley not - natural children (i.e. bastards, are surely excluded!) patrilineal descendants of a nobleman are also noble,

In what sense is "and" used here? Are adopted children noble? (They are not "natural") Are illegitimate children noble? (They are not "legitimate") The editorial inquiry ("Surely not...") belongs in the talk page not in the article.

as are those female-line descendants whose inheritance of a legal title of nobility is recognized.

The structure of this sentence implies conditions in which the legal title is recognized and conditions where it would not be recognized. This is not explained in the body of the article.

This would be better written as "some female-line descendents are noble" and then explain the conditions for such recognition in the article body.

I am not a expert in this article's subject but I appeal to someone who is to verify and correct the text as indicated. patsw (talk) 18:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

In Spain female line descendents are treated just like male descendents. Gender may not be discriminated as one will see in the current guidelines. [1]
