Would anyone object to moving this to Prince Charles of Lorraine, since there have been numerous notable Charleses of Lorraine (and even numerous notable Charleses of Lorraine who were Austrian military commanders!)? john k 05:43, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
To answer Str1977: YES, he was a prince. As a son of Leopold,_Duke_of_Lorraine, Charles Alexander was Prince of Lorraine from birth. He doesn't have Duke of Lorraine in [sic] his title because he never reigned over Lorraine (having 4 older brothers generally prevents that).
Poor man! In one week, he lost his beloved wife, child, and mother. Esaons ( talk) 14:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
With events including his brother François Stephen de Lorraine (
Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor) taking the throne of the
Holy Roman Empire and relinquishing the duchy Lorraine, the ducal title to the somewhat ambiguously ruled Lorraine passed to France, back to Charles nominally for a brief time, and back to France temporarily in 1766—all of which was later made moot by the
French Revolution of 1789.
Mein Gott! Would someone be kind enough to translate that in English?
