Some notes[edit]

Created this page from scratch, not from the German WP. I lifted most of the pictures from there, however. Also, the section on the art theft is a translation of the German version. The list of refs given there could be added to this page under "Further reading" or "Bibliography"...

Where there is a just one inline cit at the end of a paragraph all the material in that paragraph is from that one source. Adding a ref to each single phrase is just too tedious and makes the text look ugly. The exception to this are some of the details on the Dukes and members of the Saxe-Coburg (aka Windsor) family. Most of these were not in the refs I used but come from the respective WP articles. These are a mixed bunch when it comes to being referenced. I could add some biographies of these people to the ref list, just to be on the safe side.

A note on names: Since the inconsistent use of original/translated names of German aristocrats is a plague on the English WP (see William I and Wilhelm II), I tried to be consistent in using the German version but included the translation at least once as a point of reference. The exception to this are the British princes where the English version did seem more appropriate.Drow69 (talk) 16:02, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
