Sophie Caroline of East Friesland[edit]

She's described here as a Grand Duchess. Of what was she a Grand Duchess? East Friesland was a County and later a Principality but never a Grand Duchy. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 18:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See child no. 13 of Christian Heinrich of Brandenburg-Bayreuth-Kulmbach. The 'of East Friesland' is due to her marriage whereas her Grand Duchess title is due to her birth. That's all original research though. I asked myself the very same question, you see. ;) --Cameron * 18:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Residents[edit]
