Tzar Ferdinand of Bulgaria and his family

(1/65) > >>

cimbrio:
I have a morbid interest in murdered royals. I know very little on Prince Kyrill, brother of Boris III who was regent for his nephew Simeon II and was finally executed by Communist forces in Sofia in 1945. Can anyone forward any information of his personal life, his political actions..anything?
Thanks
Daniel zu Castell

cimbrio:
Any idea where he IS buried? I saw his brother's burial place, I guess his sisters are buried abroad, I think one married a Wurttemburg prince, and the other died a spinster. Any photo of Kyrill?

Robert_Hall:
Kyril's grave was desecrated. As was the king's.
His remains were "scattered".
Of the royal remains, only the King's heart was left hidden in a monastery. Queen Giovanna returned to Bulgaria to re-inter the heart memorial, after the fall of the Soviet regime and the destruction of the Zhivkov tomb in Sofia.

cimbrio:
The heart must contained in the tomb I saw (though it was big enough to house half the Bulgarian royals!)... I didn't know that his heart was the only bit that remained... does anyone know anything about his death? They say Hitler killed him.....

Robert_Hall:
oops, try again..
