"In Brazilian history books he is usually called Prince Maurits, although he was not a prince."
- He was Prince of Nassau-Siegen since 1679.
- I doubt that Brazilian books call him Prins Maurits, since Prince is "príncipe" and Maurice is "Maurício" in Portuguese. Känsterle 13:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- (1) What do you mean by "since 1679"? According to the article, he died in December 1679. So do you mean "in 1679", or are you referring to another Maurice?
- (2) Probably true.
- I suggest something like: "In history books, he is often referred to as Prince Maurits, even though he obtained that title on ...., only X months before his death."
- There are enough google hits on "prince of nassau-siegen" to make it true in English as well. Eugene van der Pijll 13:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
