It seems to me he was a German prince. The members of the Schleswig-Holstein dynasty (House of Oldenburg) are normally not referred to as "Danish noblemen". Noblemen they are not in any case. The current head of the house is certainly a prince, not a nobleman, which is a substantially lower ranking. SergeWoodzing (talk) 00:08, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
They were both Danish and German prince/nobleman. Schleswig was Danish and Holstein was German. The many Schleswig-Holstein dynasties had Danish and German connections. The Augustenborg branch were more Danish than German because most of Charles August's ancestors married Danish noblewomen.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 01:03, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I don't know of any cases where someone is called both royal and noble. The term nobleman to me is specific and normally means that someone is or was a member of some nation's house of nobles. Royals are royals, not noblemen, to me. Burke's consideres these members of the Oldenburg dynasty German, not Danish. I have found that I can go by their accurate accounts.
