  1. I'm puzzled as to why the Victoria Adelheid's mother is described as Gräfin zu Castell-RùdenhUsen, after a divorce and 2 remarriages had she resumed that name?

  2. she had not embarked on the third marriage yet - and a widow . Divorce was still socially a taboo - so they might not have wanted to use Frau Schnirring
