(I will continue working on this tree, trying to find the link from Christian II to Maximilian I).
King Maximilian I of Bavaria is, through some women, descended from William V of Bavaria and his wife Renata. If I remember correctly a check I long ago made, it was through their daughter Magdalena, palatiness of Neuburg. ObRoy 11:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Several times, people have moved the image of her as an old Dowager Queen and placed it as the articles main image in the the info-box. Perhaps because that is a photo and not a painting? I think this is wrong. She had her greatest relevance as a Queen. Furthermore, the infobox also, in fact, has "Queen" as a title. Therefore, I think, it is more appropriate to have the image of her as a Queen in the infobox. --85.226.44.238 (talk) 10:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now replaced the photograph of her as a dowager with an official portrait of her as a queen in the infobox of her as a queen. --85.226.44.238 (talk) 10:27, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why always the photo of her as Dowager in the infobox? 

message: Josephine's bio is currently categorized as if she belonged to two different, unrelated houses (not branches of the same dynasty, as some people do). I am not aware that anyone can - that women join new dynasties when they marry. Would like to go by Debrett's and Burke's on this and revert again, unless anyone objects.

replies: text: Never seen that anywhere else - in any other literature I mean. Families yes, dynasties no. Where does that WP policy come from? Can't we adhere to what is normal to avoid confusion? SergeWoodzing (talk) 10:51, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Her dynasty 

message: One might assume this undiscussed reversal and its edit comment mean that Queen Josephine's diary has been published and quoted, so that all that tabloid-type gossip about her true feelings could be confirmed thus as factual. Of course that is not the case; not one of us knows an iota about her feelings in regard to her husband's "adultery" (quote the WP editor, not anybody's diary or other source). Too much of this kind of tendentious material has been added and is added to certain biographical articles. Here and here are two examples of many. I am willing to list more and launch a proper investigation in to the behavior of the editor, whose good faith does not show through in reversals like this, unless such personal and often detrimentally exaggerated interpretation of reliable sources stops. I'm rmg it again here. SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
