[edit] Hesse in the German Empire

Before this article is needlessly reverted, Hesse wasn't merely a peerage or title of nobility. It was a sovereign state within the German Empire, which should be viewed as an association rather than a territory. That is the simple version of the reason why the King of Prussia was German Emperor and not Emperor of Germany. The argument that only kingdoms and empires can be sovereign is incorrect. Today we have Luxembourg, Monaco and Liechtenstein. Back then, there were various kingdoms within the Empire. Were they any less sovereign? If so, all of the consorts to those kingdoms ought to be renamed. Charles 18:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Discussion is now at Talk:Hesse-Darmstadt. Charles 17:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Are the articlees of consorts of Grand Dukes titled as consorts of kings; ie. Mary of Teck but Princess Alice of the United Kingdom? Josephine-Charlotte of Belgium was the consort of Jean, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and her article is titled without her title. Which way should it be? Prsgodd e ss187 00:18, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I would support a change to Alice of the United Kingdom. I don't think that a grand duchy ought to be treated any different from a kingdom or an empire... All were sovereign entities. Charles 02:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I've started a discussion here, maybe we can get a consensus, and move forward. Prsgodd e ss187 14:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
