Talk:Armin, Prince of Lippe

Untitled
Can anybody add any detailed information about Lippe succession dispute? So many as I know, the situation seems to be quite chaotic. ''According to a post by W. A. Reitwiesner on alt.talk.royalty (summarizing L'Allemagne Dynastique, vol. II [1979], pp. 359-362, in "Note Lippe XXIII 1"), Leopold IV, in his will of 1947, named his youngest son Arnim as his successor as head of house, with Leopold Bernhard his second son as heir presumptive. In 1953 Arnim renounced in favor of Leopold Bernhard. At that time Ernst August began to assert his claims to the headship of the house. The confusion increased when Leopold Bernhard resigned in favor of his eldest brother Ernst, the former hereditary prince, who declined. In 1958, a family council chose as head of house the oldest living agnate, namely Simon Casimir. Ernst August attended the council and accepted the choice but later reneged. What happened after 1980 is unclear, but Arnim seems to be accepted as head of house by various sources, while Ernst August's son Friedrich Wilhelm had continued his father's claims.'' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.40.110.66 (talk) 10:50, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
