Tsardom of Bulgaria

edit

While it is occasionally translated as "kingdom", the Bulgarian country only ever had one person to officially hold the title of king (https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%8F%D0%BD). Bulgaria is a country of Caesaropapal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesaropapism) heritage. Thus the title of Tsardom would be more appropriate as a Tsar is equivalent to an emperor not a king.(Sorry, I'm bad at editing. I'm also not sure what you would consider adequate citation as that information is mainly present in high-school textbooks.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.13.205.17 (talk) 02:15, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Grammar

edit

The first two sentences of the article read as follows:

"The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha ... is a European royal house. It takes its name from its oldest domain, the Ernestine duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, its members later sat on the thrones of Belgium, Bulgaria, Portugal, India, and the United Kingdom and its dominions."

The red comma (,) should be a period, followed by the start of a new sentence. 2601:200:C082:2EA0:4175:AB30:8B7C:6D98 (talk) 03:41, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Continued Reign of in the UK?

edit

The article’s second paragraph states that in the house’s reign ended in the UK upon the death of Elizabeth II.

However, according to House of Windsor: On 8 February 1960, some years after both the death of Queen Mary and the resignation of Churchill, the Queen confirmed that she and her children would continue to be known as the "House and Family of Windsor" In other words, Charles III is considered a continuation of this reign.

I guess it is complicated, because Elisabeth’s decree applied to the House of Windsor - which was how the British monarchy renamed their house in 1917 - and thus have no bearing on descendancy from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha’s perspective.

On the surface there appears to be a discrepancy between the House of Windsor and House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha pages as to whether the reign continues with Charles III. Is it worth adding a comment to this page to clarify about the apparent discrepancy? A Carbine Flash (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
