Mediatized Noble Families / "Mediatized" - what is it?
« on: July 25, 2007, 05:50:20 PM »
I’m afraid I am not too familiar with the meaning of the term “Mediatized Noble Families”, but I assume it implies “non-ruling” yet noble families. Am I correct? If so, do families such as de Lannoy and de Ligne (Belgium) and Lewenhaupt and Hammarskjöld (Sweden) qualify for inclusion, i.e. can they be discussed here? Clarification would be most welcome and apologies for my lack of knowledge in this area.
