Royal Exiles in Cannes: The Bourbons of the Two Siclies of the Villa Marie Therese

This excellent book, authored by David McIntosh and Arturo BeÃ©che, includes more than 315 unique and rarely seen photos from both Mr. McIntosh's archive and the renowned Eurohistory Royal Archive. The book follows the history of this once mighty kingdom from its creation in the Middle Ages to its inheritance by the Bourbons of Spain, and its final incorporation into the modern Kingdom of Italy in 1860-61. Furthermore, and perhaps more fascinatingly, the book catalogues the saga of the various members of the royal family as they rebuilt their lives in exile, while also continuing to make matrimonial alliances with most of the ruling Catholic dynasties of Europe, among them the Habsburgs, the Spanish Bourbons, Saxony, Parma, and several others. The storyline follows the lives of the Bourbons of the Two Sicilies and their descendants to today. It is a unique production on a popular exiled royal family that has maintained a prominent presence among Europe's royals. Glossy/ hardback, 224 pages. It includes an intricate two-page spread genealogical tree showing the Royal Sicilian Dynasty and its many connections to Europe's other royal and princely dynasties.
