[edit] Irene's right of succession to the Dutch throne

"Her conversion to Catholicism meant that she had to renounce her right of succession to the Dutch throne" That is not correct. There is no impediment for the monarch or a person who can inherit the throne to become a Catholic or a member of any other religion. Irene lost her right to the throne because she married without there being a law to give her permission. Carlos claim to the Spanish throne was the central issue of the controversy. I'm changing this to "She lost her right of succession to the Dutch throne because the government refused to enact a law permitting the marriage, and her mother could not even go fetch her because the government advised her against it. The issue that prevented the government from making a law permitting the marriage was Carlos claim of the Spanish throne. The Dutch government saw international political difficulties arising from a possible heir to the Dutch throne holding a controversial claim to the throne of a foreign state. Also the Dutch Constitution does not allow the monarch to carry a foreign Crown.".Gerard von Hebel 20:35, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redundancy deleted

Baptized Hugo Xavier Marie Sixte Louis Robert Jean Georges Benoît Michel, he later took the name Charles (Carlos) before all his baptismal names.70.161.208.216 13:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

"He was baptized Hugues Marie Sixte Robert Louis Jean Georges Benoît Michel. On 28 June 1963 he was officially renamed Charles Hugues, by judgement of the court of appeal of La Seine, France."

This suggests that the names "Marie Sixte Robert Louis Jean Georges Benoît Michel" were dropped in 1963. AFAIK only the name "Charles" was added, so after 1963 his full name would be "Charles Hughues Marie Sixte Robert Louis Jean Georges Benoît Michel". Känsterle 15:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pretender to France

As the heir of the Bourbons, he's the pretender to France as well as spain. Benkenobi18 (talk) 12:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

No, he is not. The ultimate heir to the House of France is Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou. Spain and Parma were/are held by junior branches of the House of France. Charles 19:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
