Dubious article needs cleanup.[edit]

Heiresses? This article is not about the financial gains through inheritance, is it? If it is about inheriting "royal" family names, caution: 1. Austria and Germany abolished monarchy in 1919 and became republics. Since then, all those "von" (or "Prinz", "Freiherr" et al) people with German or Austrian passports are not nobility anymore, as such does not exist as a societal class anymore. Such "titles" have become family names since, and nothing else. 2. Persons who divorced a spouse with such a royal "title", unless they keep that family name in citizenship documents even after the divorce, they are heiresses of exactly nothing. 3. Persons who never legally took up the "royal" family name of the spouse into their legal documents, after marriage are not heiresses of anything, alive or dead. 4. "Baron" has never been a royal title in Germany or Austria. It just never existed.

Underline[edit]
