Question for British Folk and/or Smart Dudes and/or Ladies

[Sa'ar Chasm]

The King of Spain still holds 21 Kingly titles, some of which are actually in Spain.

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...
