some inputs for improvement[edit]

According to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Leslie_(†_1667) in 1634, Walter ex stirpe Leslie became Roman Catholic — further reading: http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz50602.html «[…] 1634 […(.)…] von der presbyterian. zur kath. Kirche übergetreten […]».

And then one should know, the Emperor granted him the «Reichsgrafenstand» — that is "Imperial Count" or more precisely "Comital status of the Holy Roman Empire", and definitely not "Count of Germany", whatever that would have been ;) The grant's concept, including coat of arms: http://archivinformationssystem.gv.at/detail.aspx?ID=2533100 — Preceding unsigned comment added by SR-7v (talk • contribs) 16:00, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Eger??[edit]

Someone has linked the wrong town of Eger within the text. It is not Eger (in German: Erlau) in today's Hungary but Eger (in Czech: Cheb) in today's Czechia!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheb — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C0:DF02:1B00:B4BD:1988:EEA3:554B (talk) 10:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
