Order of succession — 2nd or 3rd?
Kaiser/Kaiserin are the same thing. Therefore he's the 3rd Kaiser, not the 2nd. — Canary
- I didn't put that because i was making a distinction between the two — it literally states in the series that he was the second. Since he was born before Reinhard died, Hilde never became the 'acting' emperor. This is consistent with how other patriarchal monarchies function (succession starts with the eldest male child). ♥ kine @ 16:22, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- Hilde was never 'acting emperor' because she was the Kaiserin. When Reinhard died, she became the leader of the Neue Reich. One of the last things Reinhard says before he dies is that he's confident Hilde will be a better ruler than he could have been. He also tells her to decide whether or not to pass allow Alexander rule the empire.
- There's also nothing to indicate Reinhard's empire is a patriarchal monarchy--quite the opposite, in fact.
- Hilde rules the empire. She's the one who transforms it into a 'constitutional monarchy'. She holds the title of 'Kaiserin.' Basically, Alexander IS the second Kaiser because Kaiser is a masculine title--but he's only the 3rd ruler. For the purposes of this article, he should be referred to as the 3rd (meaning we should either ignore the weird german gender word or use a different one).
