Princess Ortrud of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a purely genealogical entry, yet Wikipedia is not a genealogy database. She was a princess only to those who chose to call her that and the general public had no idea that she existed. She lived a private life as a private citizen and an encyclopedia has no business covering her. Surtsicna (talk) 17:05, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
