Talk:Ernest Augustus, Duke of York and Albany

Merged in Crown

The infobox states that the Dukedoms were merged in the crown, but as he did not become King wouldn't they rather have just become extinct due to his lack of heirs? --DavidCane 02:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

The two terms essentially mean the same thing, and go back to the times when noble titles were connected to land: any lands belonging to a nobleman who died without heirs would.become part of the crown lands. Of course, by the eighteenth century this was no longer the case, but the terminology did and still does remain.JWULTRABLIZZARD (talk) 18:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Apparent chronological anomaly

It is stated he turned 20 while staying at Versailles ie in September 1694, but in the next section he is stated to have taken part in the Battle of Neerwinden which took place in July 1693 when he was not yet 19, and France remained at war with the Empire until 1697. Check needed.Cloptonson (talk) 18:07, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

It was indeed incorrect. DrKay (talk) 17:37, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
