Not a "cadet branch" edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is being claimed that the House of Habsburg-Lorraine was a cadet branch of the House of Habsburg. This is not correct. To be a "cadet branch", then the Duke of Lorraine who married Empress Maria Theresa, would have had to be a male descendant of one of the previous Habsburg's younger brother. He was not. The House of Lorraine was not a cadet branch of the House of Habsburg. He became emperor because he married the heiress, who had no other male relatives.
