Talk:Sophia of Hanover

message: It seems Anne was no fan.  How often did they correspond? Was any attempt to investigate poisoning?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biofuel (talk • contribs) 22:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Sigh, this page should be at "Sophia of the Palatinate" or "Sophia of Simmern".  But that would be pretty hardcore, wouldn't it?  Any opinions? john 22:23 1 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Is this the same Sophia as the character in Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver trilogy? crazyeddie 08:07, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I created and inserted a new template which shows the House of Stuart's connection to the House of Hanover.  It ain't the prettiest template in the world, but then it is the first one I have ever created.--*Kat* 19:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Her date of birth is given as 14 October 1630. Was this the Old Style date or rectified to the New Style? I believe the Hague still used the Julian (Old Style) calendar at the time of her birth.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:51, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of birth

message: Her husband Ern(e)st August(us) is described as 'Elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg' at the time she married him. This is not so. The article gives the impression that the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg somehow preceded the creation of that of Hanover. In fact they were the same thing, and it was created in 1692. It should be 'Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg'. This is explained at some length in the Wikipedia article on 'prince-elector'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.35.146.43 (talk) 16:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

message: According to this article, Sophia never visited England.  However, the article "Act of Succession 1701" says "Sophia herself went to England to campaign for the act".  Neither claim is supported by a citation.  One of them is wrong.  Which is it? 209.179.101.211 (talk) 19:13, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That statement is missing from the article now, but I've added a   tag to the claim in this article.  I tried to find a primary source, but all I found were articles using more or less the exact same wording as The Wikipedia. If true, it's an interesting fact.  --CGPGrey (talk) 15:34, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

text: IIRC William himself was brought forward in the line of succession to co-rule with Mary by the Glorious Revolution but any children he had by any later wife would have come after Anne and her children. William was a grandson of Charles I by his daughters and thus close in the line of succession in his own right but Parliament only accepted his demands for his own person. In practice by 1701 neither he nor Anne had any prospect of living children. Timrollpickering (talk) 18:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
