Ian Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Whilst working on some stuff regarding the House of Habsburg I came across the signature of one of the younger Erzherzogs and I am hoping that some one on this site can tell me his name?

speedytop Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi, Erzherzog Carl Albrecht, Hptm. (Hauptmann) http://www.bierl-antiquariat.de/eigenhaendiger-einseitiger-brief-mit-unterschrift-des-oberstleutnants-an-kaiser-karl-i-mit-der-bitte/a-26745055/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archduke_Karl_Albrecht_of_Austria Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Uwe, Thank you. By closing one eye and squinting with the other I can now see Karl Albrecht in the signature block. I was thinking that the 'K' was actually an 'L' or a 'J'. Regards, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi Ian, it is a "C". Carl, not Karl. See the C.A. (Carl Albrecht) under the crown in the first link. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Uwe, Many thanks. (Most) English language sites i visited after your orignal answer have him as Karl and not Carl. Obviosuly a mistake on their part. Ian Edited February 19, 2013 by Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
