Ancestry

edit

The Ahnentafel in the Ancestry section of this article has been vastly extended, not only with footnotes, but with extensive and at times redundant explanatory detail, by a new anon whose editing strongly indicates familiarity prior to today with Wikipedia editing arcana, yet includes minutiae, trivia and genealogical detail far beyond what is customary or appropriate. While some of this information is interesting and might be touched upon en passant, it overwhelms what should be a brief article on a woman whose distinction (correctly noted in the article, but omitted from the lede -- presumably because there is little or no RS commentary which documents the novelty of her position) is that she was the first non-princess accepted as dynastic by the deposed House of Habsburg in exile. I have tried to trim the excess to acceptable length and format and request that it not be restored without prior discussion here responding to the concerns I've raised and without a consensus to restore it.
