Thank you for sharing.

One correction: Pedro Gastão's wife Esperanza was born a Princess of the [Spanish] House of Bourbon, not a Princess of the Two Sicilies.


Esperanza's half-brother, the Infante Alfonso of Spain, did become a pretender to the Two Sicilies and assumed Two Sicilies surname and titles for himself and his descendants.

But Esperanza and his other sisters were not involved in his pretensions, and never adopted Sicilian titles or names for themselves.


In their old age, Pedro Gastão and Esperanza were based in Spain, at Esperanza's palace in Villamanrique de la Condesa in Seville.
