<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 177076, member: 1824&quot;]Roy,Hanover was following Salic Law,which was also applied to Luxembourg in 1890.In Luxembourg&#039;s case,it was Queen Wilhelmina who could not succeed to the Luxembourgish throne,as King Willem III was the last Dutch Grand Duke of Luxembourg.The heir to the Luxembourgish throne was the deposed Duke Adolph of Nassau (ruled 1839-66).He succeeded to the throne as Grand Duke Adophe of Luxembourg &amp; ruled until his death in 1905,when he was succeeded by his son,Grand Duke Guillaume IV.Upon his death in 1912,Salic Law ceased to apply,as the controversial Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide (who abdicated in 1919 &amp; died childless in 1924) became the first reigning Grand Duchess.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
