I don't see how he could have been Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt as his older brother Philip had this title, and it was passed to Philip's son Friedrich Wilhelm, who died long after his uncle Christian Ludwig (I'm related to Friedrich Wilhelm's illigitimate son Georg von Jaegersfeldt).Urselius (talk) 16:53, 7 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ludwig and his elder brother Philip were both styled "Margrave of Brandenburg" in their lifetimes. The title was a courtesy title for princes of the royal house of Prussia. Later Philip and his descendants were called "Margraves of Brandenburg-Schwedt to differentiate their branch of the Hohenzollerns. As Philip and his two sons held the lands of Schwedt only they should be called Margraves of Brandenburg-Schwedt. This article should be renamed "Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg."
