The theme in this issue is HOHENLOHE-LANGENBURG, a small mediatized principality in northern Baden-Württemberg with lots of connections to other European dynasties. There are no less than three articles on this family in this issue: first Charlotte Zeepvat's family album with 75 illustrations and five family trees, then Susan Symon's biography of Queen Victoria's half-sister, Feodora of Leiningen/Hogenohe-Langenburg, and finally Datiu Salvia Ocaña's study of the Spanish Hohenlohe-Langenburgs.
Then there is the continuation of Elizabeth Jane Timms's article on Archduchess Marie Valerie and her English tutor, and an appreciation of Fürst Christian zu bentheim und Steinfurt, who celebrated his 100th birthday in December, only to pass away three days later.
