Did Not marry double first cousin edit

The article states that “he married his double first cousin Princess Wilhelmine of Baden.” Double first cousins share all of their grandparents and arise when one set of siblings marries another set of siblings. Wilhelmine and Louis II were first cousins (and related in many ways), but not double first cousins.

For an example see Louis XIV of France. He married his double first cousin, Maria Theresa of Spain. FlospyFlospy (talk) 12:48, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
