: Just how exactly was he -- if at all --
: related to his wife (Infanta Ana Maria of
: Portugal)? The reason for my asking is that

: Bavaria, the royal houses of Spain,
: Portugal, and Italy were not known for
: marriages with persons of Protestant or
: Orthodox backgrounds. At least not until
: the 20th century (e.g. King Alfonso XIII of
: Spain and Princess Victoria Eugenie of
: Battenberg, King Juan Carlos and Princess
: Sophie of Greece). I believe that even
: France has had her share of interfaith
: marriages (e.g. Duchess Helena of
: Mecklenburg-Schwerin).
