Full titles of Frederick III

edit

I noticed that in the 'Full titles' section that the full titles for Frederick III are missing. So I went searching encyclopedias and the internet to find them so I could add them there. I have been searching for quite a while and can't seem to find them. I figured that because of his short reign that may be the reason it is hard to find this information, but that doesn't make him any less important than Wilhelm I and Wilhelm II. So if anyone knows where to find this information, or is willing to look for it, I think we should add it to the article. --Lord Gorbachev (talk) 21:47, 15 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

As the title of Wilhelm I and Wilhelm II only differ in some minor spelling changes and the order the titles are named I suppose the full title of Frederick III was the same. Genealogisch (talk) 14:19, 17 July 2012 (UTC) king Wilhem was a German emperorReply

Pretender

edit

Does George Friedrich actually claim the title of German emperor? Because if not he isn’t a pretender. 83.233.104.136 (talk) 17:48, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Emperor of Germany or German Emperor

edit

In the info box up at the beginning, it says that Wilhelm II was “Emperor ofGermany” (they put of and Germany together). This is incorrect 142.113.63.149 (talk) 15:52, 6 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Kaiser not Emperor

edit

Although emperor might have been that ruler's official rank, and the literal translation of Kaiser; by long use and cultural tradition, the title of the German emperor, particularly and especially when it denotes Wilhelm II, in English is always Kaiser. The exception would be an historical, pre-Napoleonic context, for the Holy Roman Emperor. Nuttyskin (talk) 14:05, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
