TWO SICILIES

The current headship of this family is in great dispute. Though complicated arguments have been made supporting both sides of the current dispute, essentially it comes down to whether Prince Carlo (1870-1949), validly renounced his rights to the throne of the Two Sicilies in 1900. His descendants argue that the renunciation clearly applied only in the case that he or his descendants should succeed to the Spanish throne. Various interpretations have been made of the acts and statutes involved, and the dispute seems to be without a definitive resolution. Certainly the partisans of the two claimants make their arguments with great passion. If the renunciation is valid, the head is Prince Charles, Duca di Calabria (b.1963). If not, the head is Prince Carlos, Duca di Calabria (b.1938).

The children, and the children of sons, of the head of the house, bear the title Prince[ss] Royal of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (Royal Highness). Other members of this family bear the title Prince[ss] of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (Royal Highness).

Le malheureux garçon,titré comte de Mascali--du nom d'un apanage sicilien du prince de CAPOUE qui lui fut confisqué par son frère Ferdinand II pour le punir de son mariage morganatique avec Pénéloe--est mort fou. Il avait été placé sous tutelle et survivait grâce à une pension que lui versait le roi Victor Emmanuel sur sa cassette personnelle. Le nouveau roi d'Italie n'était pas ingrat: en aidant ainsi la veuve et les enfants de Charles de BOURBON,prince de Capoue il témoignait sa reconnaissance à un princequi lui avait apporté son soutien.CAPOUE est mort à Turin en 1862 et je le répète son fills, liu est disparu en 1918”)
