		Grand Duke Jean's departure was intended, in part, to mark the new millennium, and draw attention to the issues the small, but economically savvy, country would face in the coming years.

		In his first address as Grand Duke, he urged his 429,000 citizens to retain their family values and national identity while vowing to ensure equal rights for all.

		The executive power is in the hands of the Grand Duke and a cabinet consisting of 12 ministers and 2 Secretaries of State.
		Although Luxembourg is divided into 12 counties for administrative purposes, it is subdivided differently during general elections and for the purpose of local government.

		rand Duke Henri of Luxembourg was born on 16 April 1955 at Betzdorf Castle, the eldest son of Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg and Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte, formerly Princess of Belgium.
		Unique to Luxembourg, this role enabled Prince Henri to assume many of his father's constitutional prerogatives, providing him with an opportunity to prepare for his future role as head of state.
		Grand Duke Jean abdicated in favour of Prince Henri during a ceremony at the Grand-Ducal Palace on 7 October 2000.

	Reflections of Luxembourg in the U.S.
		Luxembourg is at the crossroads of invading armies.
		Because political and economic control of Luxembourg had changed hands so many times and because the grand duchy did not actually exist as an independent state until the mid-nineteenth century, it is difficult to establish accurate figures regarding the number of Luxembourgers who left their country for other lands.
		This style of rural Luxembourg architecture was adapted from the "Quereinhaus," a "combined house and barn, with house, stable, and barn in one lengthy unit lying under one roof" ("Luxembourg Traditional Architecture," 1).

	Line of succession to the Luxembourgian Throne at AllExperts
		Prince Jean, the current Duke's younger brother renounced his right of succession for himself and his heirs On 26 September 1986, therefore he and his sons are not listed.
		The constitution of Luxemburg states that the crown is hereditary in the house of Nassau according to the pact of 1783 (the Nassau Family Pact), the Treaty of Vienna made in 1815, and the Treaty of London of 1867.
		The position of husband is zero in constitutional terms from that 1907 decree onwards (identically with the position of wife of a male grand duke), as a marked contrast to medieval practice, where husband becomes reigning in wife's right.

	Luxembourg (09/06)
		Although Luxembourg considers 1835 (Treaty of London) to be its year of independence, it was not granted political autonomy until 1839 under King William I of the Netherlands, who also was the Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
		While Luxembourg is aptly described as the "Green Heart of Europe" in tourist literature, its pastoral land coexists with a highly industrialized and export-intensive economy.
		Luxembourg is a member of the Benelux Economic Union and was one of the founding members of the European Economic Community (now the European Union).

	Luxembourg Opens Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art - New York Times
		LUXEMBOURG — The dispute was never over I.M. Pei's elegant geometric design for Luxembourg's new Museum of Modern Art.
		Jacques Santer, Luxembourg's prime minister when the museum was first proposed in 1989, had an answer: it would be good for the country's image.
		Because Luxembourg owned virtually no Modern art, and the museum could hardly afford to start building a collection of works by, say, Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Dalí, Miró and the like, this is really a museum of contemporary art.

		Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg, who has ruled the prosperous little nation since 1964, will abdicate next year in favor of his oldest son, Prince Henri, the government said Friday.
		During his reign, Luxembourg has developed as a leading European financial center, enabling its citizens to remain the European Union's richest despite a decline in the steel industry, which was long the economic mainstay of the nation.
		Under Luxembourg's constitutional monarchy, the grand duke's role is largely ceremonial, but he must sign all bills before they can become law and has power to dissolve parliament.

	The Spanish Order of the Golden Fleece
		After firmly stating the legality of his Grand Mastership, in 1755 Ferdinand VI decided to institute a Junta de Caballeros to assist in the administration of the ceremonial of the Order.
		Although it was claimed by the Carlists, and by some later writers, that Isabel's assumption of the Sovereignty of the Golden Fleece was in contravention of the Statutes, the original terms of the Burgundian succession would have placed her as the heir after the death of Ferdinand VII.
		As such he could neither pretend to the title of Duke of Burgundy (a fief of the French Crown) nor to the Sovereignty of the Golden Fleece, although he was persuaded to do so in 1946 by certain of his adherents.
