Not common law spouse[edit]

The idea of a "common law spouse" is alien to Austrian (Roman) law. Alt was the archbishops mistress, not his wife.Royalcourtier (talk) 04:43, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Additions from the German Wikipedia[edit]

I have started to add material translated from the German Wikipedia (this article was already derived from the German article, but the German is much more thorough). I am not yet complete. Some of the material is referenced to a dead link that I've been unable to repair, so I've included it and flagged it as dead. Some will be supported by general references from the end of the German article, with which I will continue tomorrow. I have added a large section listing her offspring, of which I'm a bit dubious. I'm cutting a fair amount of nobility-cruft that has infected the German article. I am also trying to retain the original English article's text, though sometimes it is subtly different in meaning to the German, which leaves me struggling when neither is well-referenced. Please forgive any poorly cited work for the next 48 hours while I try to finish this off! Elemimele (talk) 23:04, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have now added the remaining text. I've also copied across the literature section. The German article has a lot of overlap between the literature section and the individual citations, and seems to have been sourced in both ways simultaneously. This English version could do with its citations tidying up, as some of the individual citations that I added during translation are explained better in the Literature section. I'll have a go, but of course welcome anyone else's help and input, especially if they actually have access to the sources, which I mostly lack. Elemimele (talk) 11:20, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Raitenau's adversory[edit]

There's a discrepancy between the German and English articles in who Raitenau fought; the German article claims it was William V. I don't believe this as William, according to the German WP article on him, ceased to be duke of Bavaria in 1597. I'm therefore sticking with the English version as I add other details from the German. I have added a note on the German article's discussion page so someone there can look into it, if they wish.
