Talk:Anna Leszczyńska (1699–1717)

Hoax
I've just read the following article about some Wikipedia hoaxes, the most famous was Bicholim conflict. See After a half-decade, massive Wikipedia hoax finally exposed

I've been firmly thinking for a long time that this article, Anna Leszczyńska (1699–1717) is also a hoax, a fictional person.

The life of the "Polish Princess" can be summed as follows, and any other interwiki cannot add more information to her life except the history of that time when she may have lived or life of her famous sister, the French queen or her father's:

Anna Leszczyńska (Trzebnica, Poland, 25 May 1699 – 20 June 1717 in Gräfinthal) was the eldest daughter of Stanisław Leszczyński (who became King of Poland in 1704 and later Duke of Lorraine) and his wife, born Countess Catherine Opalińska. She was named after her paternal grandmother, born Princess Anna Jabłonowska. Her only sister, Maria Leszczyńska, was born in 1703 and later became Queen of France as the wife of Louis XV. Between his two daughters, Anna seems the favorite of King Stanisław. She received a careful education. Anna died of pneumonia aged eighteen in Gräfinthal cloister, in the district of Mandelbachtal in Saarpfalz-Kreis. Many doctors called to her bedside by her father have likely accelerated her death, multiplying the purges and bleeding.

The sources given above are not authentic and trustworthy because they are not primary sources, not reviewed writings, their information content is uncontrollable. The Work of Angelika Schneider is unavailable, uncontrollable and (s)he who put it among the sources, did not read.

The interwikis also inform us about nothing, no more information. The first article among interwikis was found on July 2007 without any sources.

A detailed genealogy work in Polish language, Włodzimierz Dworaczek: Genealogia, Warsaw, 1959., which contains the most detailed genealogy of the Polish and Lithuanian nobility among the European royal houses, does know only daughter, only child of the Polish king, who became French queen because this genealogy work contains the illegitimate, still born children and who died young in detail. Even so this book does not know about the alleged older daughter of King Stanislas I.

A biography book about the son-in-law of the Polish king, King Louis XV of France also claims that King Stanislas Leszczyński has only one daughter (In French):

„Le lendemain, le roi déclara: «J'épouse la princesse de Pologne. Cette princesse, qui est née le 23 juin 1703, est fille unique (display setting by me, the editor) de Stanislas Leczinski, comte de Lesno, ci-devant staroste d'Adelnau, puis palatin de Posnanie, et ensuite élu roi de Pologne, en juillet 1704, et de Catherine Opalinska, fille de castellan de Posnanie, [...]»” (English translation: The next day the king said: »I marry the Princess of Poland. This princess, who was born on 23 June 1703, is the only daughter of Stanislas Leszczyński, count of Leszno, former starosta of Odolanów, then voivode of Poznań, king of Poland elected on July 1704, and of Catherine Opalińska, daughter of castellan of Poznań, [...]«) Source: Leroy, Alfred: Louis XV, Éditions Albin Michel, Paris, 1938., p70.)

The text claims unambiguously that the Polish king had one and only one daughter, Marie, who became queen of France. If the Polish and the French, who know the best about Leszczyński family, claim that the Polish king had one and only one daughter, what are the sources of the existence of the other, older daughter? We cannot know a lot but she died allegedly at the age of 18. Where are the traces, tracks of her life? Where are the primary sources of her life? Nobody has shown primary sources yet. Or is this article also a hoax like Bicholim conflict mentioned above? We does not need any phantoms or fictonal persons and events. Does Wikipedia need another disgrace?Borgatya (talk) 14:53, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
