What is the purpose of this category?

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm puzzled as to the purpose of this category. So far, all the members of the category appear to be various historical German nobility. Hunting was a prerogative and a passtime for European nobility. Almost all of the nobility hunted, and the ones that did hunted as a recreation. The nobility were not notable because they hunted, they hunted because it a priviledge they held because they belonged to the nobility. How is hunting a defining characterisitic for the person placed in this category? - Donald Albury 17:28, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
