Ah... Hey Friends,
It's so glad for me to see you interest in my countrty and our rulers...
Thank you all for posting those pictures!

Boyar i see that the book is on my language can you give me the name? Please

Does anyone know who was to succeed Prince Alexander if he didn't have any children? Did Bulgaria have a succession law that dealt with the issue?

As far as I can see the Tarnovo Constitution didn't make any further provisions than "direct male-line heirs" of Prince Alexander. A separate succession law was promised, but no such law was passed. Apart from the original Bulgarian and Russian, I only found a German translation: Verfassung des Fürstentums Bulgarien, unterzeichnet in Tarnowo am 16./28. April 1879. Chapter V deals with the succession.

Thank you for your reply, Rærik. I thought that was the case, but I just wondered whether his Battenberg family was mentioned as possible heirs. If so, it would in a way make the Battenbergs a reigning family, and so elevate them from their status as a morganatic family to an equal one.
