    The Family of Archduchess Fransesca (née von Thyssen)

    apologies for the joke part, wasn't one of the Bornemisszas employed at the King's court in Hungary? I seem to recall some mention of that as well. I didn't realize they were actually Transylvanian (I mean from that part of Greater Hungary). I would have pegged them more near Békéscsaba but...

    The Family of Archduchess Fransesca (née von Thyssen)

    exactly, which makes the movie so hard to find. I'm guessing that since he made it there, he must have given it an Arabic title and that got translated into the Labyrinth. I also remember that Charles Dance was in it, played a professor who fell in love with a local girl and that the movie was...

    The Family of Archduchess Fransesca (née von Thyssen)

    that would be really interesting to find out if he's still a muslim or not actually. I also heard he did a movie called The Labyrinth, which is impossible to find. At least for me. Didn't realize he was married. I heard he'd been dating that woman. Tatler did a feature on him a while back (2003...

    The Family of Archduchess Fransesca (née von Thyssen)

    Doesn't she have a brother who in the 80s was the most eligible bachelor? I heard he converted to Islam and spent some time in Beirut where he did a movie.

    HRH Duke Carlos Hugo (1930-2010) and the Royal House of Bourbon-Parma

    Is there a connection to Argentina? I seem to recall there was one at the beginning of the previous century, some family (perhaps even illegitimate?) in Argentina, could be a very distant connection. And something to do with a Dutch connection as well. Have double-posted this as I really don't...

    Emperor Karl I (1887-1922), Empress Zita ("The Last Empress") (1892-1989) and Family

    thanks, Marengo. Does anyone here know of a connection they may have had to Argentina. I seem to recall someone telling me that one of Zita's sisters was distantly connected or related to some noble family in Argentina, possibly even a Dutch connection. And that she ended up in Solesmes where...

    Emperor Karl I (1887-1922), Empress Zita ("The Last Empress") (1892-1989) and Family

    Which of Zita's sisters ended up in or was in a convent in France? I believe it was somewhere in the south and starts with an S but I may be mistaken. Been trying to find out but can't find any information on that.
