I suggest finding a picture of him

[edit] Some proposals

I suggest excising from the start of the article the doubts about his paternity, and together with some notes about his relationship to Elena Sanz, their offspring, and the juridical troubles of his will, move it to a (several) section in the text. Besides this, as Alfonso XII's memory is deeply ingrained in spanish popular culture, some data about it would be of interest

I would change the "homosexual" of Francisco de Asis, since there are no evidences about it. Wikipedia should say what we know or we can prove it's true, and to this day, Francisco de Asis' sexual tendencies cannot be assured (it was told he got a lover -woman- too). I would say "presumed homosexual". --80.103.137.151 02:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ancestor infobox

Cosmos666 has added a box which shows Alfonso's four grandparents and eight great-grandparents. This is certainly not usual for an encylopedia article (indeed, often not for a full-length book about the subject). I suggest removal. If not, what are the limits to this? Noel S McFerran 04:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC) I'd like to see the ancestry box return. Many of the other 'Monarch biographies' on Wikipedia have these boxes. They're useful for tracing historical genealogical relationships and present some useful information in a concise format. Thanks a.windemere ...Sorry, I just noticed that it's still there when the 'show' link is clicked.

Puigmoltó It´s not Puig y Moltó is Puigmoltó. Don Enrique de Puigmoltó y Mayans, son of the "conde de Torrefiel". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.40.41.187 (talk) 12:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reign

Did Alfosono become King in December 1874 or January 1875? We need consistancy folks. GoodDay (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
