Karl, Grand Duke of Baden → Charles, Grand Duke of Baden — Names of all other Grand Dukes of Baden are anglicised; see Category:Dukes of Baden. Even his predecessor's name is Charles Frederick, Grand Duke of Baden. Furthermore, "Charles"[1] is significantly more common than "Karl".[2] The biographies of his "mother-in-law",[3][4] "father-in-law",[5] and other in-laws.[6][7] all refer to him as Charles, in addition to Encyclopaedia Britannica.[8] Even The Rhine: An Eco-Biography, 1815-2000 calls him Charles, though it calls his grandfather Friedrich Karl.

Cause of death?[edit]

It's peculiar that there is no mention of the cause of Charles' death, given his young age at his death. Can someone knowledgeable about it please include this information? Bricology (talk) 22:28, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, fascinating isn't it! As if someone powerful was trying to censor the information from Wikipedia and from all "reliable sources".

What can be inferred from this article is that his death was not unexpected, as he had secured succession of the Grand Duchy only a few weeks before his death. I looked through the articles in other languages to see if they had any more information. Not much there, but the article in French blames the Grand Duke's debauchery for his poor health. The article on Stéphanie de Beauharnais has this to say: "The situation changed somewhat when it became evident that the aging Grand Duke would not live much longer. The couple apparently reconciled in an effort to produce heirs for the throne." Too much sex makes you die young? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 06:58, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
