Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) on queen consorts, the title is missing her home territory. See Cecylia Renata of Austria for reference. Gryffindor 21:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please read 9) Past Royal Consorts are referred to by their pre-marital name or pre-marital title, not by their consort name, as without an ordinal (which they lack) it is difficult to distinguish various consorts; eg, as there have been many queen consorts called Catherine, use Catherine of Aragon not Queen Catherine.

Comment. What about of Habsburg? Her full Polish surname was after all 'Habsburżanka'.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 14:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, why burden all queens merely to disambiguate the few with over-common names? How many queens are there named "Marie Josepha"? logologist|Talk 15:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The rules are quite clear for these cases. If you wish to change the rules, may I suggest you propose a new change on the talk page of the naming conventions. Until then I am afraid this article is in violation of current regulations. Also family names are normally not used for royals but their territory (see Cecylia Renata of Austria). In her native tongue she was known as Maria Josepha von Österreich, not Habsburg, regardless what her Polish name became. Gryffindor 17:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don’t really care if you add an "Austria" here (Marie Antoinette isn’t furnished with one either), but I am pretty sure that Marie Josepha is most unusual. It should be Maria Josepha or Marie-Josèphe or Maria Józefa. Furthermore, it would be nice if we agreed on a consistent way to refer to the Saxon lot on the Polish throne: AFAIK English encyclopedia entries name them Augustus II the Strong and Augustus III ONLY. Alternatively we could agree on their Polish or German names (e.g. August II. der Starke OR August III Sas), but August III the Saxon doesn’t seem to be standard.

The page was moved from Marie Josepha to Marie Josepha of Austria. enochlau (talk) 11:04, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of death- murdered?

[edit]

In the French wiki-article of her, it is said that her death was caused by brutal treatment from hostile soldiers during the war; I can not read French well enough to understand it better than that. Was she murdered? Exactly how did she die?--85.226.40.6 (talk) 20:19, 19 April 2009 (UTC) She died in confinement in the Electoral Palace after a stroke.[reply]
