Talk:James Louis Sobieski

Isn't she just called Marie Casimire d'Arquien ? Kpjas

1697

Err...the article says that 1697 was the first time "that the rightful candidate had been debarred from the throne by military force," but mentions nothing of the kind. Reading the article on Augustus, I see that by "the rightful candidate," it is not Sobieski who is meant (as one might suppose) but Conti. Shouldn't this be either clarified here, or removed? BTW, could we have articles on the various Polish elections, in the way we do about papal elections? I would find that interesting. john k 16:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Name 1

Additionally, I've usually seen him called "James Louis Sobieski," rather than "Jakub Ludwik." Any thoughts? john k 16:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

That's probably the case for how he is referred to properly in English. Charles 19:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Name 2

"James Louis"? This weird English-French contraption should be replaced by his proper, Polish name, Jakub Ludwik. Thoughts? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 18:43, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Portrait

From the date of the hairstyle and costume, and also from the facial features, I think the portrait depicts Jakub's grandson Charles Edward Stuart. Silverwhistle (talk) 22:01, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
