Thanks JSP. Does the referenced book include ALL of the Braganca/Braganza relatives from 1640-1910, with pictures, etc., not just the main reigning Kings/Queens -- to get a broader view of the families? Wikipedia does a great job with the main players but does not focus on the lesser folks...

I'd vote for: 1. Elisabeth (murdered 600+ virgins and bathed in their blood) who was selfish and vain, without compassion or value for life; probably the biggest serial killer in the world. 2. Ivan the Terrible (ate meals while watching people being empaled) also had no compassion or value for...

-- From what I've read, it looks like a lot of Sissi's self esteem was tied to her looks, which is one reason her husband chose to marry her; she was introverted, independent, extremely vain, competitive about her beauty -- maybe to help keep her husband -- and had "restricting type" anorexia...

---- 1. Wikipedia mentions Ferdinand II of Portugal, House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was the Grand Master of the Rosicrucians. Might other royals be interested in Rosicrucianism? 2. Besides the Swedish Royal Family, which other royal families are/have been Evangelical Lutherans? I believe some of...

That's good Warren. Thanks. The book that I saw might have been more comprehensive, while the other genealogies might be more dynastic. Thanks.

Does anyone know how the Braganza (/Braganca) genealogy book(s) work? How can an 1817 birth of August Braganza (/Braganca) be listed in a Braganza (/Braganca) genealogy book (with his picture) yet Paul Theroff's genealogy of the Braganza (/Braganca) dynasty from 1706 to the present not...

You're absolutely right about using Wikipedia. In this case you wouldn't know its my favorite on-line reference. :) Thanks for your constructive criticism and for answering my question.

In this current age its more acceptable to discuss delicate issues, much more so than 100 years ago. Does anyone know what Prince Frances Joseph of Braganza actually did in London that was so shocking that ended in arrest and to resign his commission in the Austrian Army? Who were his parents...

My father uses the European etiquette with the fork in his left hand, facing down, and its very convenient. I think it looks nice too. Its almost as if its simpler and we can focus on the conversations rather than the more busy crossing over actions. There's probably fewer knives and forks...

Does the book entitled, "The Braganza Story," which has been out of print for several years, only discuss the American Braganza families? Which Braganza book can you recommend that discusses and has pictures of the lesser known and less important Braganza/Braganca characters from the 1800s...

No matter which hand is dominant and comfortable for you to write with, when eating, one uses the left hand for the forks and the right hand for the knives. Right handed people, when they need to use their knife, place their fork in their left hand and pick up their knife in their right hand to...

Interesting how his Highness August Ludwig Viktor (1818-1881) passed away in July 1881 from bronchitus (ref: Wikipedia French language version). I normally think of people having problems with bronchitus in the winter months with viruses. Maybe he had allergies. I hope there was no planned...

When one puts the knives, forks, spoons, etc., upside down, that's the French formal style. Regards.

Does anyone have a picture of the minor prince August Ludwig Viktor, (b 1817-18) from the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Kohary, married Clementine, daughter of King of France -- in addition to the small picture/painting on Wikipedia? I believe he later gained the title of Highness in Austria and...

Mad King Ludwig II of Bavaria -- dyslexic?? Mad King Ludwig II of Bavaria: I was wondering... Is it possible King Ludwig II could have been dyslexic? He is known as the Fairy Tale King, the Swan King, quite introverted, very artistic, loved beauty, romance, architecture, swans, Wagner and...

Dear Jonny Dep: Wow - you are well informed! Thank you for a very complete and accurate answer letting us know the Braganza RF is currently descended from the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family via Victoire (Victoria)). By chance, with respect, as many royal families have dyslexia, might that have...

Forgive my ignorance but is there any relationship between the House of Wittelsbach (aka: Bavarian Royal Family) and the Duke of Braganza / Braganca who was exiled to Bavaria -- I believe. Are these two families related at all? Have any idea how? Thanks in advance.

Henri & Marie Therese d'Orleans - dyslexia in family? Is their disability "dyslexia" or might they have something else? Regards.

Braganza / Braganca descendants of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha line Could anyone inform us of who the first and last descendants were for the Braganzas being connected to the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha lines? Thank you in advance.

Can this information be verified?: The House of Braganza (/Braganca) was part of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha. Is that the same "Gotha" genetic line as the British Royal Family (with dyslexia)? With all of the branch variations, is there a more specific name to this line? I believe the British Royal...

Thank you Warren for such a quick response. Do you sleep? ;) I did review your attached link to no avail. Everything is a learning experience, so the time was not wasted. As I have seen this gentleman in an official Braganza genealogical book, (might be a book re illegitimate lines??), and...

Might anyone know the biography and family history of August Braganza, born 1817, Frankfurt on the Oder River / Austria? Was he connected with the Austrian, Prussian, Orleans, Parma, Danish, German, Russian, etc., line(s)? This information is not on the internet to my knowledge. This...

Braganza family - dyslexia? Under the category of "Royals with Disabilities": Did dyslexia affect the Braganza family line? If so, do you know which line or which person(s)? Thank you in advance.
