How did this one become 4? Did they reset? Nil Einne (talk) 17:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
My vague understanding is that three branches - Reuss-Schleiz, Reuss-Lobenstein, and Reuss-Ebersdorf - initally had joint sovereignty over this principality, but that the latter two died out some time before 1866, leaving only Reuss-Schleiz. Should we list the other two branches? Can anyone give any more details on this? john k (talk) 17:01, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
At least after 1848 (I think earlier), there were two branches of the house of Reuss, designated in German as "ältere" and "jüngere". These could be translated as "older" and "younger", or as "senior" and "junior". But Wikipedia has "older" and "junior", which is inconsistent. I propose using the latter, and moving this article to "Reuss younger line", unless I am persuaded otherwise. Maproom (talk) 21:06, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Who are all those 15 living dynasts in the Stonsdorf branch? Are morganatic descendants in line for the Reuss throne? I found 15 names and listed some of them (because the previous editor stated there are 15). However, some are clearly morganatic. So maybe I found the wrong ones and did not find the younder generation? Or there are really less than 15 (maybe because some of the old ones died recently)? However, the mother of the Hereditary Prince of Reuss is just a baroness herself, so maybe morganatics are OK for the throne. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.249.44.172 (talk) 11:22, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
