In Swedish, she is known as Ulrika Eleonora. I highly doubt that the form Ulrike is more common, or even remotely close to as common, as that in English usage; afaik, it's a German/Danish form, not an English. The Britannica uses Ulrika. [1] Unless arguments for Ulrike can be produced, I really think this article should be moved. -- Jao 17:06, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
I agree. Ulrika is the name form familiar in english-anguage literature. 213.243.157.114 15:30, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Eleonora is Eleanor in proper English. Since she is a monarch, the name should logically be translated into English, not left in its Swedish form Eleonora. 62.78.121.150 10:25, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
In the second paragraph, what does "the prejudice of Queen Kristina" mean? — Tamfang ( talk) 06:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
I know of no reliable source that has ever asserted that the queen almost made a scandal out of jealousy. On the contrary it is known that she never commented on the king having a mistress and that any opinion she might have had about it remained private and never has been known by anyone. I am adding a citation tag to the "scandal" assertion (which probabably is from a novel or other dramatized entertainment) and ask that the item be removed from this bio if not reliably sourced.

It does not seem releveant to this article, in my opinion, nor necessary, to assert that King Frederick "however, had mistresses", right after relating the fact that his wife hoped to give birth to an heir. It would seem to be enough to state the fact that he had mistresses, without professing any special POV of our time or theirs, nor motivating that because it then was acceptable for men (only?) to be "unfaithful" but that that "was still adultary according to law and religion". We don't know if Frederick and Ulrica Eleanor still had sex or not and kept trying to have a legal heir, and we don't know if she supported him having mistresses or not (as many royal spouses of both sexes have done) - so why slant their story with some sort of unsourced indignation?

Can Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy please explain why the title Landgravine of Hesse-Kassel deserves a succession box? Did she wield power as landgravine? Was she significant or notable for being a landgrave's wife? How much does the reader benefit from knowing who was the landgrave's wife before her or after her? Did she ever even use that title?
