>>>I do not recognize the term Kurfurstenum Trier. Could there be a misspelling? > >>>And what does the term Kurfurstenum Trier signify? Hello Listers, yes it is a misspelling! The right spelling is _ Kurfuerstentum_ (ue = u with two dots = Umlaut) A Kurfuerstentum was a region of power in the hands of a Kurfuerst. A Kurfuerst was a souvereign, a prince, who elected the Kaiser. Greetings Dr. Richard Waxweiler Berlin, Deutschland/Germany dr.richard@waxweiler.de www.waxweiler.de
