| I've had the same problem and handle it thusly:
|
| Given Name, Highest title; full christian name of House Name
|
| EXP: Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxemburg; Adolf Wilhelm August
Friedrich of
| Nassau-Weilburg
|
|
| As I use TMG I created a custom tag TITLE and enter the title and
date of
| attaiment. so it prints in cronological order. The result is below:
|
| Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxemburg; Adolf Wilhelm August Karl
Friedrich of
| Nassau-Weilburg , son of Guillaume of Nassau-Weilbourg and Louise of
| Saxe-Altenburg, was born on 24 July 1817. Succeded as Duke of Nassau
on 20
| August 1839 upon the death of his father. He married lisabeth
Mikhailovna of
| Romanov-Holstein-Gottorp, daughter of Michel
Romanov-Holstein-Gottorp and
| Charlotte von Wrttemberg , on 31 January 1844.Elisabeth died as a
result of
| childbirth without surviving issue in 1845. He married Adlaide,
Princess of
| Anhalt-Dessau, daughter of Friedrich Augustus of Anhalt-Dessau and
Marie von
| Hessen-Cassel, as his second wife on 23 April 1851 at Dessau. Issue
of the
| marriage were Guillaume (1852) and Franois (1859). He succeeded in
accordance
| with the Nassau Family Compact as Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxemburg
upon the
| death without surviving male issue of William III of the Netherlands
