To JHK
The so-called "Spanish" kings /emperors had to sign an agreement that only German or Latin language would be used in the business of the empire.
The first kings called themself kings of Franks, the Romans , later Holy was added, later of German Nation was added. All this shows that German and European history was never stagnant and always changed . Of course this is difficult for people today to cathegorize, let alone understand.
The 'Spanish' kings of that time were not Spanish, just as the'Polish' kings were not Polish
and in the case of Richard Corwallis as German king , the German kings/emperors were not always German. But we did not have nation states as we have since the last 100 years .

Someone had typed in all the Hohenzollern names in German . I guess we leave it as that for now.
( I found Albrecht Achilles info from 1911 under Albert III Brandenburg. )
Again,as with Albrecht the Baer, if the right names are not used then info remains hidden away.

I agree, we wait and see, what other suggestions are made and keep inputting info in the list as it stands for now.

My opinion to the 'Kurfuersten', that is just as much the title as a Doctor or MD title. Not showing it with the persons name is a disservice. A US President or a General keep their title,
it just so happens , that these titles are the same in German language.
