Death

[edit]

Her mother Anna of Bohemia/Hungary died in childbirth - of complications from Johannas birth. And Johanna died of the same case - fever in childbirth - in 1578.

Ressource: German Book, Sabine Weiss, "Kindheit im Hause Habsburg", Tyrolia 2008. A good book. I bought it yesterday and read some interessted chapters. There are so many pictures inside. It's a great book. --AndreaMimi (talk) 00:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move back to Archduchess Joanna of Austria (1547–1578)

[edit]

Can someone move this back to Archduchess Joanna of Austria (1547–1578)? Name of Place is only used for titless royalty in the Middle Ages and Empress and Queen consorts, not for Grand Duchesses, Duchesses, Princesses, or Countess consorts. Grand Duchesses are only one step above a Duchess. --Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 20:35, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I object. She was not the only woman known as Joanna of Austria and using years of birth and death is not the best way to disambiguate her. Joanna of Austria, Grand Duchess of Tuscany is a much better title than Archduchess Joanna of Austria (1547–1578) because an average reader would recognize her as Grand Duchess of Tuscany more easily than as a woman who lived between 1547 and 1578. If you were going through categories looking for the article about the wife of the Tuscan grand duke Francesco I de' Medici, which title would you find more helpful? I understand why you want the title of archduchess to be included but it's not neccessary and adding it to the present title would create a ridiculously long title, don't you think?
