Franz I & Franz Josef II

Franz I is a brother to Franz Josef II's paternal grandmother. GoodDay 16:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WWII

[edit]

I would have thought more could be said on Franz Joseph II during the Second World War given the reference to him inthe article on the Beneš decrees under the 'Impact on today's political relations' section. Anyone up to it?

Proposed deletion of this section on WWII

[edit]

I am wondering in the relative course of things, how essential this section on WWII actually is? The case for making this family out as pro-Nazi is not directly stated. Is there anything published stating flat out that this is a well known fact? Certainly situations caused by wartime are problematic for all in the area at the time. For example, people who had to steal food--this does not mean that this is who they are.

I would say that unless it was a well known fact that this family was pro-Nazi, this section could be deleted.

My sense of it is that in time it will be as it still reflects too much of the personal traumas of the War itself.Charley sf (talk) 19:45, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where do the Batliner's fit in?

[edit]

I'm trying to learn more about my family background (my Mom's side) and am wondering where the Batliner family fits into the Liechtenstein history? I grew up hearing (from my Mom) that the Batliner name was from Liechtenstein and was part of the Royal family or was the Royal family at one time. As I had heard it...the Batliner family had to abdicate; my Grandfather, Harree J. Batliner, and other children (I may be off a generation here??) were scurried off to an orphanage for saftey. I would like to learn more. I know of at least one other 'Batliner' family (my Grandfather's brother's branch--whom we're not in contact with now) that is in the U.S. (Kansas City, MO, I believe). My Mom always told me that we were related to "all of the Batliners'" since this family originated from Liechtenstein. Batlinerfamilyinkansas (talk) 07:29, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like someone in your family made up a story. I can find no connection between the royal family and anyone named Batliner. 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:7DA1:461F:C1DC:FB (talk) 14:24, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's Gerard Batliner, who served as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein. However, I could find nobody related to the royal family by that name. TheBritinator (talk) 00:57, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vatican honours

[edit]

I notice that in his list of foreign honours, his two Papal awards, from Vatican City and Holy See, appear grouped under the Italian flag. During his lifetime and even before, the Vatican was a recognized separate state from the Kingdom, later Republic, of Italy. On a related note, based on a comment made in the dialogue by John Gielgud as Pope Pius in the movie "The Scarlet and the Black", there appears to have been a scheme (never carried out) for Nazi Germany to evacuate the Vatican from Rome and establish "a puppet papacy in Liechtenstein". Was anything actually know of this scheme, which could be mentioned in this page.Cloptonson (talk) 13:00, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Father's succession rights abdicated

[edit]

It seems like this would be important to explain in the article, about why his father renounced his succession rights. It's not explained here or on the father's page. That seems pretty important and something I am curious to know about. It's not every day that someone is in line to inherit a throne and they say, "nah, I'll pass." 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:7DA1:461F:C1DC:FB (talk) 14:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
