Reference format
I believe this referencing format is inappropriate - looks very bad, I think, below the article with that long list of the exact same source repeated over and over and and over. Needs to be adjusted. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 06:08, 5 December 2016 (UTC)--SergeWoodzing (talk) 06:08, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Rodemachern marriage
as it now reads in article, "Cecilia married Christopher II, Margrave of Baden-Rodemachern (1537–1575), in June 1564 in Stockholm. It is noted that the wedding was far less luxurious than that of her sister Anna, and that it seem to have taken place without much negotiation: the first contract had been signed as late as March the same year. Neither does there seem to have been any political purpose behind the marriage."

Margrave Christoph, a younger son of his family ad accordingly somewhat 'penniless', functioned as a mercenary warrior in Swedish service, in king Eric's war against Denmark-Norway. Christoph was prepared to accept whatever wealthy and high enough marriage, and obtain advancement in Swedish service. Cecilia, with her damaged reputation, was not sought after by real ruling princes. The marriage was thus one 'made in heaven' for two less-desirable persons: Cecilia really needed a husband and a high noble, though impoverished, was a catch for her. Christoph in his impoverished state obtained much better than he had really a justification to wish for. Christoph's career as a new kinsman of the royal family was thus well-prepared for the future. However, it was not to be. These two wastrels were in desire to snatch much more - and they managed to live with some luxury by others' money, becoming indebted everywhere where they went. 2001:14BA:4857:A000:189E:411:8C37:3E78 (talk) 20:00, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
