Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Franche-Comté — The Free County of Burgundy was not 'reunited' with Burgundy proper in 2016; the modern administrative region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté was created, which is a modern administrative merger, not a historical reunification.

Franche-Comté — The war of 1674 was the Franco-Dutch War, not the War of the Quadruple Alliance (which occurred in 1718–1720).

Languedoc — The claim 'As of 2024, the title Duke of Languedoc still remains' is factually incorrect because the title Duke of Languedoc was never a standard peerage title, and no such title exists in modern France.
