Notes

  1. ↑ The independence of Luxembourg developed in the course of the 18th century. From the perspective of the Holy See, which had traditionally sent it representatives to the royal or noble rulers of a state, the key development was the separation of the ruling houses in 1890, when the Dutch monarchy ceased to hold the title Grand-Duke of Luxembourg. Beginning with Adolph of Nassau-Weilburg, the Grand-Duchy had its own monarchy, which reaffirmed its full independence. [1]
  2. ↑ Two self-published sources provide conflicting information about appointments before 1946, [3] [4] and the standard source, Acta Apostolicae Sedis, does not report the appointment of an apostolic internuncio to Luxembourg before 1946.
