Hello! I realize that this is probably not the reason that you set up this site, but perhaps my question is proof that your book is truly needed. Using a friend's system, I have been trying to locate the date of death for Philippe de Bourbon (born 1885), for an article I'm editing for Silver Magazine. He turns out to be truly obscure. I know that he is in the Bourbon-Sicily line, and a cousin of Alfonso XIII of Spain (b. 1886), and the purchaser, in 1912, of a splendid enameled gold cigarette case now in the collection of the ROM in Toronto - the subject of the article. Supposedly, Philippe was the son of Alfonso, Count of Caserta (born 1841), but I didn't find him so listed on the Royal genealogy website at the University of Hull.

Hello.

I hit your site this morning, and would like some further info. I'm looking for the ancestry of Philip II of Spain (son of Emperor Charles V).

Please advise.

Thanks, J Cox

Were there any Lugo's in Spanish history. I know that a man by the name of Lugo travelled with King Ferdinand to America and discoved San Bernandino Co. in Ca.

Do you have any more information on them. Thanks.

Hi: This is Spain. I´m trying to find information about the wedding of Alfonso XII and Cristina de Hapsburgo in order to know the real origin of a original picture showing the footlegend "Cristina de Borbón 1879"

The picture shows a tower next to a house with mountains backwards and a road in front of them and we suspect it may be near the birthplace of Maria Cristina de Hapsburgo married with Alfonso XII in 1879.

Thanks in advance
