Going by "what links here" there must have been umpteen Spanish princes of this name, we may need disambiguation. PatGallacher 20:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haemophilia?

I heard a rumour that he is haemophiliac. According to it, that is why he died. --147.197.215.16 20:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

His uncle, Alfonso of Spain, Prince of Asturias was a haemophiliac. This Alfonso was not. Haemophilia passes almost exclusively through the female line. The only exception is when a male suffers from haemophilia. He passes the genetic defect onto his daughters. Even if the Count of Barcelona had been a haemophiliac, Alfonso would not have suffered from it. Pilar and Margarita would have definately been carriers, but males cannot inherit the disease from their fathers, only their mothers. Morhange 05:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ancestry

The contents of the tree does not seem to be in line with information given in the Juan Carlos article, especially in its Early Life section. Somebody should check it. --Ruziklan 10:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

They look the same to me. Noel S McFerran —Preceding comment was added at 13:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh yes, I am sorry, I have misread Early Life section of Juan Carlos article as I considered him to be the son of Alfonso XIII and did not notice he was son of son. It seems ok after removal of my blindness :-) --Ruziklan 15:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
