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)
