DNA samples taken from Prince Sixte Henri of Parma, Prince Axel of Parma, and Prince João Henrique of Orléans and Braganza show that they have a common male-line genetic ancestor... the officially genealogy shows that this person is Louis XIII.
In the English wikipedia page of Sixte Henri of Bourbon-Parma there is a line that in 2013 his descendant of from Louis XIII was confirmed by DNA testing.
I cannot remember any discussion about DNA testing any remains of Louis XIII and matches from within the family.
However if Sixte is a male line descendant of Louis XIII any rumours of Louis XIV being the result of an affair of Anne of Austria with Mazarin are proven to be untrue.
Does anyone know more about the DNA testing done on the Bourbons?
