These Spaniards seem to be packrats as far as titles are concerned. Most of those titles used to be Hapsburg possessions and haven't been Spanish for centuries. I think they bought the other half at aristocratic rummage sales - not the territories, just the titles.
Indeed.

The Duchy of Alva seems to have gone to the same rummage sales...

lol. And if you had the chance to marry a almost king(Or Queen?)? I'd happly be an opportunist!

I wouldn't. Haven't you ever seen The Prince and Me?

Burt 05-16-2007 10:55 PM
I...haven't.

But, if you got to live in Windsor?
I can think of worse things.

Nate the Great 05-16-2007 11:28 PM
Come on. I'd like some amount of notoriety, just like anyone else, but I couldn't bear having my entire existence amount to no more than that of a lab rat scurrying around a gold-guilded maze.

@Burt:

Really?

Imagine living in a museum.

It. Is. Not. Fun.

Having seen Night at the Museum for the first time only a few months ago, I would argue that there are better things and worst things, but nothing quite like it.

Country? What's this? Kingdom, perhaps.
