Actually, the Dukedom of Franco is a more prominent title, a Grandee of Spain, while the Dukedom of Anjou is a title recognised in LA's French papers, but not a legal title. I mean, there is no nobility in France.
And Franco is not a name to be linked to in the XXI century. Villaverde, in this sense, is more "neutral", let's say.
Anyway, I doubt LA would use any of the titles, since he considers he is entitled to higher titles, ie, royal ones. Why being Marques of Villaverde, or Duke of Franco, when he thinks he is "HRH the Duke of Anjou"?
