Count ?
[edit]I allways thought Freiherr is a title and not part of the name. this (Count Friedrich Ferdinand von Beust) is IMHO the wrong article title. Sebastian scha. (talk) 01:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
The Beust family has untitled noble, baronial (Freiherr), and comital (Count) branches. Friedrich Ferdinand was a Graf, or Count. Modern German law makes noble titles part of the surname, and modern Austrian law abolished noble titles. This has no effect on the name or title of subject of this article, as he lived and died before all that happened.
Freiherr Ole von Beust is not a descendant of Graf von Beust, but a member of a different (baronial) branch of that same family. 9 Sept 2008 (GvSt) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.143.173.178 (talk) 17:02, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Chancellor
[edit]He was never Chancellor, a title invented later. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 20:54, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- I stand corrected - apparently he was the exception, between Metternich and Renner. See Chancellor of Austria. I will restore the statement but sourced this time --Michael Goodyear (talk) 21:22, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
