Neither reference works for the word "princess". Was it the usage in Italy to call daughters of dukes, princess? And she was illegitimate - would she not have to have been legitimated to share a title from her father? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 20:26, 31 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
I don't know - I used the word because the sources referenced call her a princess, but I by no means an expert on the subject. From what little I know of the historical context - Niccolo Machiavelli's famous book 'the Prince' comes to mind, which focused on studying the actions of leaders of different Italian states in the 15th-16th centuries. Bishops who ruled territories were also contemporarily referred to as princes. Prince just means 'first' and it was not uncommon to call rulers of Italian city states as 'princes'. It is not the same connotation with the British monarchy, when a prince or a princess means someone who has a relationship with a Queen or King. Maybe a female relative could also be referred to as a princess? Reesorville (talk) 03:08, 1 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
