Cleaning of the article edit

This article contains a great amount of information, of which much is not about Anne Charlotte at all, rather it is about her family. The article should always be about the person it depicts, not about their family. Here is exmples of the text I have removed:

" After a stay to Lunéville, Francis III of Lorraine, yielding the regency one to his mother, leaves for a Tour of Europe that the brings back to Vienna where one sees in him more and more openly with the future Maria Theresa of Austria.

The future spouse of the Archduchess Maria Theresa pleases the Court of Versailles, where the Cardinal de Fleury, successor of the duke of Bourbon, sees a possible alliance with the Habsburg's in the form of Francis and Maria Theresa.

The War of the Polish Succession puts a diplomatic term to this position: France accepts the marriage of the Duke Francis III with Maria Theresa provided that Francis gives the Duchy of Lorraine to the father of the Queen Stanisław Leszczyński. In exchange, Francis received the Tuscan Throne, last ruled by Gian Gastone de' Medici.

François III can only to accept -to against heart- the bargaining despite the objurgations of his mother. He married the Archduchess, actually in love with him, in February 1736. Anne Charlotte's mother was given the principality of Commercy, that one attributes for her for her lifetime."

On the way Anne Charlotte crossed the path taken by her niece, the 14 year old Archduchess Maria Antonia towards that of her French marriage (and her tragic destiny); this marriage was one of five Bourbon-Habsburg union's between three of her niece's and two of her nephews.These were marriage of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor to Princess Isabella Maria of Parma in 1760; Leopold I, Grand Duke of Tuscany with Maria Luisa of Spain in 1764; Archduchess Maria Carolina to Ferdinand, King of Naples and Sicily in 1768; Archduchess Maria Amalia to Ferdinand, Duke of Parma in 1769; and Marie Antoinette to Louis XVI of France in 1770."

I have removed the above due to the fact that it is not about the subject of the article. Neither does it have an encyclopedic and neutral tone. Each of these people have their own article, and the information should be in their own articles. --85.226.47.128 (talk) 15:42, 13 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
