Talk:Sophie of Pomerania (Gotland)

Duchess?
Isn't it Lady of Gotland? Her husband is Lord of Gotland.
 * I am at a loss to understand the use of the word "Lady" in the name of this article. She was not a Swedish duchess (of Gotland) and there has never been any such title as Lady of Gotland, and there were no Dukes of Gotland in those days. This type of invention is not a good idea. Shortly before he died, she married a Mecklenburg Duke who briefly ruled Gotland without any title there, "titular" or not. He was ex-heir to the Swedish throne before he married her. After he died, she exercized some power on the island (Gotland) for a very short time before she left, but under no known title to it. I suggest she be called a Duchess of Mecklenburg, but certainly not Lady of Gotland. SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:40, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Have now tried to clean this one up (see edit comments) and will have it moved it to Sophia of Pomerania-Wolgast unless anyone can come up with a good reason not to. SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:55, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I would rather see dates or the Mecklenburg version if Gotland can't stay. See Sophie of Pomerania (disambiguation). Sophie of Pomerania-Wolgast could refer to Sophie of Pomerania-Stettin since her father Eric II also ruled Pomerania-Wolgast and so can Eric's wife Sophie of Pomerania-Stolp, and then their is Sophie of Pomerania-Wolgast-Rügen (I would guess one was used over the other for this Sophie and it could be Wolgast too). The thing is Pomerania like Bavaria should not have their hyphenated area of rule in the article titles just like all the articles on the Dukes. And Sophie over Sophia for consistency with other Sophie of Pomerania even if Sophia is closer to the Swedish Sofia.--Queen Elizabeth II&#39;s Little Spy (talk) 06:18, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll leave this one up to you, but please do change it! Thanx! SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:16, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I just changed it to Sophie of Pomerania (Gotland) since I'm sure her husband wasn't Duke of Mecklenburg and the dates would just be really messy. --Queen Elizabeth II&#39;s Little Spy (talk) 03:52, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
