[edit] 'Bourbons of India'
Is there any way this isn't rubbish (though from the newspapers rather than from wikipedia editors)? Descendants of an unspecified 'Jean de Bourbon', a 'nephew of Henry IV' (Henry IV of France had no nephews)? Mysteriously never mentioned until now by some crackpot cousin of Prince Philip? Supposedly the 'true heirs to the French throne' (no. Just no. There's no way any nephew of Henry IV of France could be 'true heir' without writing off Louis XIII and his line of descent, which no sane historian does)? And garbage about them being relatives of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette (if they are descendants of Charles, Duke of Vendome, then they would be related, but very distantly, especially if isolated in India). Could someone please clarify if there is any serious merit to this nonsense? Michael Sanders 00:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have known about the claim of the family before the book "Le Rajah Bourbon". It is an old noble family of Bhopal.--Malaiya 00:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
