PageName → New Name – Belgium is integral to this man's identity, IMHO, as much as Austria-Este is. I feel that there are a few options which I will list below. Charles 22:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I feel that a form incorporating both designations would be optimal, but the length may be cumbersome. Charles 22:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
An English-language search of Factiva (the world's largest newspaper database) shows the following:
  • "Archduke Lorenz" 27 occurrences (the most recent of which is June 2002)
  • "Prince Lorenz" 46 occurrences (including 37 since June 2002); I checked that these were all either "Prince Lorenz of Belgium" or "Belgian's Prince Lorenz" or something similar (i.e. they are not references to some other prince named Lorenz)
I personally always refer to this individual as "Archduke Lorenz of Austria-Este", but the Factiva numbers would suggest that "Prince Lorenz of Belgium" would be the appropriate Wikipedia article title. This is one of those many occasions when general usage is different from those of us who hang out in royalty discussion groups. Noel S McFerran 22:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Though I am favorably inclined to "Lorenz of Austria-Este" as the French, Dutch (and Catalan) Wikipedias have, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) would indicate using the current name (as with Prince Andrew, Duke of York). —Centrxtalk • 18:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
More thoughts: I firmly feel that Prince Lorenz of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este is the best title for a few reasons... Even though Austria is obviously a country, it makes it clear that the archducal title is not a grant of the Kingdom of Belgium (e.g., such as Prince Andrew, Duke of York... Prince and Duke are both UK titles in this instance). Belgium should either be mentioned with the princely title or omitted altogether in the article title (e.g., Lorenz, Archduke of Austria-Este).
Another issue that I would bring up but think would be better to discuss in one place is the titles of his children. Appending the title Archduke of Austria-Este to the end of each of their names is a form used for the head of the house. If they were each titled Archduke Name, Prince of Belgium, I think it would be a better form because there is no one who is "the" Prince of Belgium anyway, since Belgium has a king. A longer form would be Archduke Name of Austria-Este, Prince of Belgium. Charles 22:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Duke of Modena

edit

is he really considered the heir to the dukedom of Modena? I know when Francis V died, he willed his wealth to Franz Ferdinand, who took the Este name and arms, but normal succession would make Franz Duke of Bavaria, Duke of Modena. so I guess the question is there a source of the Archduke of Austria-Este using this title? 71.194.44.209 (talk) 05:32, 7 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Prince of Belgium and Archduke of Austria-Este

edit

The official website of the Belgian Monarchy states on this page that Prince Lorenz "became Prince of Belgium in 1995". It also refers to him as "Archduke of Austria-Este". I therefore revised the infobox's "title" line to reflect that. -- Blairall (talk) 00:37, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

– Per WP:CONCISE and WP:CONSISTENCY (Robert, Archduke of Austria-Este, Margherita, Archduchess of Austria-Este). I also want to point out that these two are among the titled royals, and in such cases where the individual is an heir or head of a house we follow the format "Name, Title" (Charles, Prince of Wales, Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoléon, Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, etc).

And? The examples that you have given are in no way related to this case. The Duke of Edinburgh, for example, has never been the title of a ruling monarch. Even if Lorenz is not an actual ruler, he carries a title that once belonged to a group of rulers. Now if we were to title this page based on Lorenz's position, then Prince Lorenz of Belgium would have been enough, since he is a Belgian prince by marriage and it would also make the title more concise.

  • Oppose for Astrid, who should be Princess Astrid of Belgium for simplicity. There aren't any other princesses of Belgium called Astrid, the disambiguator is unnecessary and we should use the common name. Princess Astrid of Belgium is about 200-times more common on google news searches than Astrid, Archduchess of Austria-Este. It's split about evenly for Prince Lorenz of Belgium and Lorenz, Archduke of Austria-Este. Celia Homeford (talk) 13:06, 27 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
