Switzerland? edit
From 1707 until 1857 Neuchatel was part of the Kingdom of Prussia. Until 1806 it was part of the Holy Roman Empire (of the German Nation). In 1815 Frederick William III allowed Neuchatel to join the Swiss Confederation, then not yet an integrated federation, but a confederacy, as a full member. Thus Neuchâtel became the first and only monarchy to join the otherwise entirely republican Swiss cantons. (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuch%C3%A2tel_%28canton%29 - 2012-03-03). During his entire life he was a subject of the king of Prussia. He was a Prussian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.221.21.29 (talk) 20:41, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Name edit
Why does the title have Emerich and the text Emer? Languagehat (talk) 15:24, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
- Both names appear in reliable sources. If I recall correctly, Emer is the correct name.--Other Choices (talk) 12:20, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- That's fine, but then the title should reflect that. It looks silly to have different names in title and text. The text can include "Also known as Emerich." I'm not going to do it because I know nothing about him and don't want to make the call. Languagehat (talk) 18:28, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
- An authoritative source for Vattel's name (and also biographical details) is the introduction to the recent Liberty Fund edition of The Law of Nations here. I'll take care of the move, but it might take some fumbling around, never did that before. --Other Choices (talk) 04:36, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Personal name. The choice of which alternative names to list in the lead seems arbitrary. I don't have any particular suggestion.
- Emer. His given name, and the name used as the author of the English translation of The Law of Nations.
- Emeric. Spelling used for the entry in the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th ed.
- Emerich. oil.libertyfund.org describes this as a mistakenly applied German name.
- Émerich. From the secondary source Great Jurists of the World.
- Emmerich. Spelling used in The New International Encyclopaedia, and given in the lead as an alternative name. Both alternative names Emerich and Emmerich were removed in 2012, but then Emmerich was re-added in 2018.
Family name. His family name in this article is written sometimes as "Vattel" and sometimes as "de Vattel". Given that the author of the French edition of The Law of Nations is "M. de Vattel", I propose that this article use "de Vattel", except of course when a reference uses only "Vattel".
