Which Duke of Brunswick?

[edit]

@Clarityfiend: On 2024-09-22T00:38:28, you changed "a Duke of Brunswick" to "the Duke of Brunswick".

Can you please disabuse me of my ignorance: The sources I found on this [Pinker (2011, pp. 138-139), Mannix (1964, pp. 134-135), McKay (2009, p. 320)] mentioned a "Duke of Brunswick". However, I was unable to connect this with a specific Duke of Brunswick.

Can you connect this incident to a specific Duke of Brunswick, preferably with a link to another Wikipedia article listing Dukes of Brunswick at different times?

If no, then I would prefer leaving it as, "a Duke of Brunswick".

It would be great if you could find another source that mentions this and names a specific Duke of Brunswick. Failing that, second best would be a note like, <ref>This was probably [[Duke ... X ...]], but it may also have been [[Duke ... Y ...]] or [[Duke ... Z ...]]. Sadly the references so far cited did not seem to provide information sufficient to clearly identify which Duke of Brunswick was quoted by Pinker et al.</ref>

Is there more than one Duke of Brunswick at a time? When Biden makes a speech, is it by a POTUS or the POTUS? Which particular duke it is is irrelevant. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:51, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
