Talk:Amanda von Brandt

von Brandt
Is there any support for von Brandt (other than the von in her surname) being a noblewoman? I will be in Sweden next month and am more than casually curious. Robert Greer (talk) 23:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, according to a book I'm reading at the moment she was of humble origin and her name was just Amanda Brandt. She added the "von" herself when she, after having studied at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, started touring Europe in the 1850s. I'll give this article an overworking in the near future (as well write an entry in the Swedish Wikipedia on her). /FredrikT (talk) 20:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
