Tatting

Queen Elizabeth of Roumania, aka Carmen Sylva

was also a talented tatted. Tatting is a form of lacemaking. Her work is featured in the book by ^[1] Not an instruction book at all but rather a book of inspiration using photos of Lady Hoare's work and the tatting of the Queen of Romania. Queen Elizabeth's work in tatting used real gold and precious gems and pearls (mostly religious items) in the pieces.

Georgia Seitz [redacted] If anyone has more info about her tatting please let me know.

Her Stay at the Marine Hotel Llandudno

Can anyone enlighten me as to why this Lady was at the Marine Hotel Llandudno for about two years in the 1890's ? - she sent a letter to the Hotel at a later date thanking the people of Llandudno for all their help in her time of difficulties... but I can find no mention of her being in exile in any reference to her regarding Romania.... E mail address for any reply if easier... [redacted] .. Crocus..

She was in Llandudno for two weeks, not years, in I think Sept. 1890; this was part of a holiday to England, Wales Ireland and various other countries. It was owing to a misunderstanding on the part of her Courier that she landed up in the Marine Hotel, Llandudno, she had wanted to stay at some more remote spot than that popular holiday resort. She visited Lord and Lady Mostyn there, and was initiated by Archdruid Clwyfardd in a field as a bard. And attended the Eisteddfod. The day before she left Llandudno, 2000 flower-decorated children paraded the streets, and in front of the Marine Hotel.Then, in the Pier Pavilion, 6000 people gathered for a farewell concert, at which John Parry, the oldest bard, read her an ode. the last day was declared a public holiday.Elisabeth was a talented and beautiful queen, a singer and musician, and loved everything Welsh.Hope this helps.

Neuwied not good

In history books, she is nown as Elisabeth of Wied. The longer form of her line's fief was Wied-Neuwied, but I have never heard the Neuwied used alone. Usually English literature is satisfied to use the first part (such as of Hesse, of Mecklenburg), and so could, IMO, be done here too. 217.140.193.123 29 June 2005 22:01 (UTC)

I'll move her. I'm afraid I don't know about the lady. I just had to move her from the wrong name, Elizabeth of Romania, to allow the creation of an article about the real Elizabeth of Romania, the queen consort of George II of Greece. I just used the name given in the article for her father's title. FearÉIREANN^(talk) 29 June 2005 22:50 (UTC)

Elisabeth or Elizabeth?

do we have some rule to say that the only version of the name is Elizabeth in English wikipedia. I wonder because in lots of English texts, I have seen Elisabeth - admittedly, mostly (if always) of foreign ladies. 217.140.193.123 29 June 2005 23:02 (UTC)

Her Father

Her father is reported in the article to be Hermann of Wied, but the Hermann in that article died about 300 years before Elisabeth was born! My guess is that her father is a different Hermann of Wied — probably a relative, maybe a descendant. Can anyone corroborate this? -John Rigali 01:45, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Her parents were Hermann, 4th Prince of Wied, 1814-64, and Marie, Princess of Nassau-Weilburg, 1825-1902. I don't know of an earlier Hermann in his ancestry.Colcestrian 03:50, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage

Why did the queen marry so late? at 26, she was very old for that time —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.40.76 (talk) 21:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did Elizabeth marry so late for her era? 26 years old was regarded as bieng an old maid at that time —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.51.101 (talk) 20:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was not she a prospective bride for Prince Alfred (Later Duke of Edinburgh father of Queen Marie of Romania) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.139.102 (talk) 13:01, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Death date: which calendar?

She died in Romania before it had migrated to the Gregorian Calendar. Is her death date, 2 March 1916, shown in the Julian calendar, or has it been converted to Gregorian from 17 February 1916 Julian? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 23:41, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Esperantist?

Can anyone more knowledgeable confirm or deny this blog post which claims she favored/learned Esperanto? Thanks. Pikolas (talk) 13:21, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Dreamer of Dreams (1915)

Some libraries credit Elisabeth, as Carmen Sylva, with The Dreamer of Dreams (Hodder & Stoughton, 1915), illustrated by Edmund Dulac. The New York Times credits "Carmen Sylva, the Queen of Rumania", in advance notice of the US edition, 1915-11-07 pBR436.

The author is Marie of Romania, who succeeded her as queen consort late in 1914, we say. It is decisive that the book is "Dedicated to my daughter Ileana".

The linked e-copy at HathiTrust Digital Library lacks the original cover, any half-title or title page, and any other revealing front or back material. The title page, if any, probably gives a description such as "by the Queen of R(o/u)mania" and gives no date. Another record HathiTrust [1] implies that, and credits Carmen Sylva (no available view of the book).

There may be similar errors by reliable sources concerning other publications by the two queens, presumably during 1914 to 1916. --P64 (talk) 21:02, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See also Talk:Marie of Romania#Publications, where there may be more problems or more solutions. --P64 (talk) 21:16, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recordings

Would this [2] be an adequate source for her having made recordings? Alternatively what is 'Bauer and Hurst'; presumably a book.SovalValtos (talk) 12:03, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to the source material of the music she

was also the dedicatee of Saint-Saëns' fantasy op.101 for organ... ELSchissel (talk) 02:43, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Artistic Leanings"

"Elisabeth had artistic leanings; her childhood featured seances and visits to the local asylum for the mentally ill." I'm sorry, in what world is visiting asylums and having seances "artistic"?? Shouldn't this be talking about her literary work, musical hobbies or something like that? I've never heard of a child being artistic because they like to summon ghosts and visit crazy people...
