Since he was Duke of Teschen, shouldn't this be moved to "Archduke Albrecht, Duke of Teschen", similar to his follower Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen? This could also solve this rather complicated (when-he-lived-in-brackets) format... Gryffindor 10:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I agree that should be the case. Every archduke and archduchess of a different line (Tuscany, Modena, etc) should follow that form. Charles 18:53, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hm. Well he was duke of Teschen, that is a fact, it even states on the German Misplaced Pages. He was made Duke of Österreich-Teschen, similar to his relatives who were from Austria-Este, Modena, Österreich-Toskana, etc. The idea is to follow the naming pattern of Prince Lorenz, Archduke of Austria-Este, Francis IV, Duke of Modena, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh for example... Gryffindor 15:11, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
That is inaccurate. The Tuscans weren't made "of Austria-Tuscany", etc. Teschen was created as a seperate title. I'm for Archduke Albert, Duke of Teschen. Charles 19:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Let me try to make this clearer. Archduke Albrecht was Duke of Teschen, but he was never called Duke of Teschen. He was always referred to as the Archduke Albrecht. Duke of Teschen was a title he held, but not the title generally used for him. In an encyclopedia we gather what scholarship has already been written; we don't create totally new things. Since he wasn't called Duke of Teschen, we shouldn't call him Duke of Teschen (although we should cite in the article that he held this title).

Imperial connections

Some authors, eg Brigitte Hamann refer to him as the Emperor Franz Joseph's great uncle. This is incorrect - that would be his father, Archduke Charles, brother of Franz Joseph's grandfather, Emperor Franz. Technically he was Franz Joseph's cousin once removed! --Michael Goodyear (talk) 22:48, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Rename to ... Albrecht... instead of ...Albert...

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was Moved. Doesn't seem controversial to me (and, if the NYT called him Albrecht ....!) --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 12:23, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Archduke Albert, Duke of TeschenArchduke Albrecht, Duke of Teschen — I suggest this be renamed Archduke Albrecht, Duke of Teschen because

  1. Albrecht, not Albert, was his name.
  2. Albert is a different name, and is also used in German (see, e.g. Prince Albert of Saxony, Duke of Teschen and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
  3. Albrecht's statue stands outside of the Albertina, which is named after the afore-mentioned Albert of Saxony, Duke of Teschen, not after our Albrecht.
  4. If we persist in calling Albrecht "Albert", the reader may wrongly assume that the Albertina is named after him, especially when we have a picture of that statue in the article, and its caption makes reference to the Albertina. (The statue is where it is because Albrecht lived in the adjacent Albertina.)
  5. The latin-character original names of particular persons not generally known to most English-speaking readers anyway (even by an anglicized name) should not have their names anglicized (in my opinion). We don't call Johannes Brahms "John Brahms," which would be a more accurate anglicization of "Johannes" than "Albert" is of "Albrecht."
  6. There is no useful purpose served by misstating his name as "Albert."

--StanZegel (talk) 03:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Holstein - relevant?

The page (section Military Campaigns) mentions in the aftermath of the 1866 war with Prussia "the loss of Holstein to Prussia". I thought Holstein had been annexed from the Kingdom of Denmark, not the Austrian Empire.Cloptonson (talk) 18:36, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
