 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. A certain degree of raising curiosity is fine, but this seems too much ;) - Most people loosing a position gain another. How about mentioning Emperor, or nobility? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:03, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
