 Though IMO he was a fraud, it seems to me that the world is just a wee bit poorer today with the loss of this apparently gentle, colorful chracter.  As the one comment at the end of the article says, "RIP, Senor de Bourbon."     AP.

Yes, we don´t seem to have any colourful pretenders left... :-(

DNA testing has brought much light into the colorful careers of these pretenders.
