Category talk:Claimant Monarchs of Jerusalem (OTL)

1. Some further explanation may be in order.

2. Most of these people didn't give a shit about claiming the throne of an ex-kingdom which had never been much more than a delusion of grandeur at the best of times, and which had been thoroughly occupied by intractably hostile forces for centuries. Of those who did care, they usually only claimed the title because it sounded cool, like the people who pay the "Grand Duke" of "Pomerania and Livonia" for certificates declaring them to be a Count or an Earl or what have you. The difference is that these people had at least a marginal claim to have inherited the theoretical crown from their distant ancestors, as opposed to having given money to a hustler. Though I guess that's enough to qualify. Turtle Fan 20:22, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
