Carl Duke of Württemberg is dead. He died on Tuesday morning at the age of 85 in a clinic in Ravensburg.
Born in Friedrichshafen, Carl Herzog von Württemberg came from the Catholic line of one of the oldest ruling aristocratic houses in the German-speaking world. Until the dissolution of the monarchy after the First World War, the noble family ruled over large areas of south-west Germany.
The late Duke was also a Knight of Honor of the Teutonic Order which, oddly enough, still exists.
R.I.P.

French paleontologist & paleoanthropologist, professor Yves Coppens, has died aged 87. Although he has had an illustrious carreer, he is probably best known as the co-director of the team that discovered the fossil of the Australopithecus afarensis named Lucy (after the Beatles song 'Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds' they were listening to at the time) in Ethiopia in 1974.
