Talk:Elisabeth of Wied

message: Can anyone enlighten me as to why this Lady was at the Marine Hotel Llandudno for about two years in the 1890's ?  - she sent a letter to the Hotel at a later date thanking the people of Llandudno for all their help in her time of difficulties... but I can find no mention of her being in exile in any reference to her regarding Romania....  E  mail address for any reply if easier... [redacted]    .. Crocus..
She was in Llandudno for two weeks, not years, in I think Sept. 1890; this was part of a holiday to England, Wales Ireland and various other countries. It was owing to a misunderstanding on the part of her Courier that she landed up in the Marine Hotel, Llandudno, she had wanted to stay at some more remote spot than that popular holiday resort. She visited Lord and Lady Mostyn there, and was initiated by Archdruid Clwyfardd in a field as a bard. And attended the Eisteddfod. The day before she left Llandudno, 2000 flower-decorated children paraded the streets, and in front of the Marine Hotel.Then, in the Pier Pavilion, 6000 people gathered for a farewell concert, at which John Parry, the oldest bard, read her an ode. the last day was declared a public holiday.Elisabeth was a talented and beautiful queen, a singer and musician, and loved everything Welsh.Hope this helps.

message: Her father is reported in the article to be Hermann of Wied, but the Hermann in that article died about 300 years before Elisabeth was born!  My guess is that her father is a different Hermann of Wied — probably a relative, maybe a descendant.  Can anyone corroborate this?  -John Rigali 01:45, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

message: She died in Romania before it had migrated to the Gregorian Calendar.  Is her death date, 2 March 1916, shown in the Julian calendar, or has it been converted to Gregorian from 17 February 1916 Julian?  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 23:41, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Some libraries credit Elisabeth, as Carmen Sylva, with The Dreamer of Dreams (Hodder & Stoughton, 1915), illustrated by Edmund Dulac. The New York Times credits "Carmen Sylva, the Queen of Rumania", in advance notice of the US edition, 1915-11-07 pBR436.
The author is Marie of Romania, who succeeded her as queen consort late in 1914, we say. It is decisive that the book is  "Dedicated to my daughter Ileana".
The linked e-copy at HathiTrust Digital Library lacks the original cover, any half-title or title page, and any other revealing front or back material. The title page, if any, probably gives a description such as "by the Queen of R(o/u)mania" and gives no date. Another record HathiTrust  implies that, and credits Carmen Sylva (no available view of the book).
There may be similar errors by reliable sources concerning other publications by the two queens, presumably during 1914 to 1916. --P64 (talk) 21:02, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
