Wrong place of birth

[edit]

I corrected the main article to be Falkland Palace rather than Dunfermline Palace, to agree with the info box on the right ref: www.britannica.com/biography/Elizabeth-Stuart 153.98.68.196 (talk) 13:30, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Englischer Bau

[edit]

In German, adjectives are inflected. While "englischer Bau" is the citation form (used in isolation), the context in this article requires

creating between 1610 and 1613 the "Englischen Bau" (i.e. English Building) for her

at least from a German viewpoint.

"Electress?"

[edit]

I wonder if a woman can actually be called an electress though she has nothing whatever to do with electing. She merely happens to be married to a guy who has the theoretical right to do some electing. In the case of Elizabeth, of course, her husband never did any electing either.--dunnhaupt (talk) 15:25, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Children in the info-box

[edit]

are the children of king James and the siblings of Elizabeth Stuart. Adelfrank (talk) 14:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence 'As the daughter of a reigning monarch, the hand of the young Elizabeth was seen as a very desirable prize' is ungrammatical. It was Elizabeth herself, not her hand, that was the daughter of a reigning monarch. Suggest you change to something like, 'Since Elizabeth was the daughter of a reigning monarch, her hand was seen as a very desirable prize.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.67.35 (talk) 22:27, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

No offense but she’s a Princess of Great Britain at the time of her birth. Why are we referring to her as “Elizabeth Stuart”? Shouldn’t she be “Princess Elizabeth of Great Britain” or “Princess Elizabeth Stuart”? I apologize as I haven’t read about her much so I have no idea what they wrote in the history books about what she was known as. Thought I would ask before messing with it. Thanks!

Ah! She wasn’t, she was still a Princess of Scotland because it was before 1603. And it wasn’t Great Britain. I apologize. Long week. Lady Meg (talk) 07:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
