'Duke of Villars' edit
Hi @Mandsford:
Concerning Villars, it is presently asserted in this article, that he was a duke. This is done off the basis of Benedict, where I have just checked that it does indeed say that Villars was the duke of Villars.
However, the title duke of Villars was created in 1627 for Georges de Brancas who was a brother of the Villars we are concerned with in this article (André). I have variously seen our Villars referred to as a 'seigneur' 'marquis' and 'Admiral', in other works. Therefore it seems that Benedict has made a mistake on this count, and we should include a note about his assertion on that count. sovietblobfish (talk) 15:17, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
