If Elisabeth the wife of Frederick I Habsburg of Austria, was the daughter of James I of Aragon, why does she not appear in the list of children when you click the hyperlink for her suposed father James I of Aragon?

I believe this link is incorrect for a couple of reason;

1. I believe Elisabeth is the daughter of James II of Majorca, the son of James I of Aragon. 2. The Time frame does not fit for Elisabeth to be the daughter of James I of Aragon, seeing how Elisabeth and Fredrick I Habsburg of Austria were born 1286 to 1291. 3. James I of Aragon would have had to been somewhere around 80+ years old when Elisabeth was born? >R.M.

• You are probably right. I just copied that information from the German Wikipedia when I created the article. I have now found some websites saying that Elisbeth's original name was Isabella, and she was the daughter of Jakob (Jaime) II, King of Sicily and Aragon, Count of Barcelona. Presumably that is James II of Majorca. Martg76 09:04, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Not familiar at all with the genealogy of Aragonese royalty, I just discovered that James II of Majorca and James II of Aragon where two different rulers. Martg76 09:09, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Frederick I => Frederick III?

I've changed some references to this guy from Frederick I to Frederick III. Apparently there is no disagreement that he was Frederick III of Germany. The concept that he was Frederick I of Austria (I've seen the Austrian numbering both ways, although the Britannica has Frederick III) doesn't make a lot of sense, since there was a Frederick II before him. Apparently, he was Frederick I of the Habsburg line, but not of Austria itself. There is also a Frederick IV who is the next Austrian ruler, and the next Habsburg, after him.

Can anyone think of a good reason why the name of the article shouldn't be changed to Frederick III?Eldred 12:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
