Hopefully I won't see anything like that again--and if I do, I'll just refresh again.

For Austria itself, it could be whatever it wanted as the source of monarchial legitimacy has been reduced to elected governments. So, they could decide to restore the monarchy as the "Empire of Austria" and have a Kaiser again, or they could count as lost what has been lost and just be the sovereign "Archduchy of Austria".<br /><br />In the old days a higher traditional authority had to bestow a title but that isn't done anymore and, in any event, there is no emperor in the west anymore and I doubt the Pope would do such a thing so a government can decide to call their country and their head of state whatever they wish.<br /><br />Take, for example, Monaco. Originally, the rulers were simply called the "Lords of Monaco" but then, starting with Honore II, the King of France raised them to the status of princes. Today, there's nothing to stop them making Prince Albert II "King Albert II" other than most people would probably think it crass and rather nutty.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-54712475993411221972017-02-03T06:56:36.332-06:002017-02-03T06:56:36.332-06:00One question for you Mad Monarchist, sorry if you ...One question for you Mad Monarchist, sorry if you have already cleared this point in one of your previous articles, if it is so, I haven't seen it, much as I like to read all your articles. Were the habsburgs to rule Austria again, what form would that Monarchy take, something very different from Austria-Hungary from the early 20th century I believe?Octavio V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01499690181438513200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-19678976291880527712017-01-31T13:41:50.433-06:002017-01-31T13:41:50.433-06:00Sorry this isn't directly related to your post...Sorry this isn't directly related to your post but when I got on your site there was a pro-Planned Parenthood ad to the left of the article.
