She was a nice but silly lady who was in this and other matters swayed by her husband's ambitions. Sixte was always her favourite - sadly Lignieres is in a very poor state of repair, despite being a monument historiques, with serious damp problems in the basement and other major stuctural problems. The Courbet estate, which was the legacy of this branch of the B-B family, was divided - the other great chateau passed to Charles, son of C-H and Sixte's sister's, Francoise de Lokowicz; French law is such, however, that all the children took equal shares of their mother's estate; Sixte benefited additionally from her right to dispose of 1/4.
The laws are clear, but in 1960 duke Roberto II, despite the strongly expressed opposition of the Count of Barcelona (and the legacy of his own father's opposition), recognised the marriage of F-X as dynastic. Since then there has been real disorder in the House.
The duke of Parma had no authority over the marriages of the Luxembourg pricnes except in regard to their Parma dynastic rights, not their other titles and styles.
