Why is Leopold von Lippe-Biesterfeld (married countess Frederike von Schwerin) registered as PRINCE?? He is a son of a COUNT.
ReplyDeleteWhen became he the title of PRINCE??
Thank you for commenting. I have also been confused by this but have seen him listed as a prince, as were 2 of his brothers, in several lists including one on the (often unreliable) wikipedia page for Julius.
ReplyDeleteJulius Ernst Rudolf Frederik Frans Victor von Lippe Biesterfeld was count too, but that is changed in 1905 to Prince. His two childs became that title in 1916 too. Maybe that in the family of Leopold is was the same.
DeleteHis brother Friedrich Wilhelm was marrided Gisela von Ysenburg Budingen; I thought he became prince by marriage. But looking at it it must be a mistake.
It could be that in 1905 when the von Lippe-Biesterfeld became "Fürst von Lippe" that the whole family became the title of Prince. But than it is strange that Rudolf Wolfgang isn't noticed as Prince.
His youngest brother Friedrich Karl is noticed as prince!
