"Succession" in 1901 under the Third Republic
How did he succeed his father as a nobleman in any meaningful way in 1901? Was it a make-believe high society thing that people went along with because that was just the thing to do? There was no legal recognition of titles of nobility by then. WP Ludicer (talk) 22:24, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
