Dom Francisco may not know of any Dom Miguel II in his family as the last monarch of Portugal.
Possibly the reference is to D. Manuel II. Teotonio R. de Souza ------------ From: Jorge/Livia de Abreu Noronha Subject: Re: [Goanet]09 APR 2004: GOACOM DAILY NEWS CLIPPINGS Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2004 11:26:06 -0700 I wonder to which �last king of Portugal� Dom Francisco refers to. The last king of Portugal was Dom Miguel II. The latter's father King Dom Carlos and elder brother (would-be successor to the throne) Dom Luis Filipe were shot dead in the heart of Lisbon in February 1908. Dom Miguel, the dead king's second son, rose to the throne but reigned only up to the proclamation of the Republic on October 5, 1910. He went into exile to England, later got married but had no children. So, how come Dom Francisco presents himself as �the great-grandson of the last king of Portugal�? Joel might do well to clarify this from him (if he is still around in Goa). ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
