Yes...especially the supposed attachment of Helene with a priest in her later years. Not exactly "The Thorn Birds" kind of situation.

Helene was a Wittelsbach. I don´t believe that her life was so boring. There are no dairies or many letters. But Helene wrote a lot in her life, that´s strange.

Indeed. When one sees the romantic lives of her sisters..... ;) maybe Helene asked all her correspondence and diaries to be burned after her death.

I didn't know about the attachament of Helene to a priest. Where did you read it?

It was well known in Regensburg at the time and people did comment on it. It was included in a German book on the Houseo f Thurn & Taxis...

I see. Do you mean the book on Thurn und Taxis by Martha Schad?

Ok. I always thought Helene to be so reserve and not so the type of any affairs like her sisters. But with such secrecy around her life one thinks  why....

Any chance of a good picture of Infanta D. Filipa ?  ::)

Infanta Filippa remains invisible...

Fellow posters: there never was a Duke Miguel II in Portuguese history, I'm sorry. This person is only ex-prince Miguel's son, who was Austrian and forever banned from Portuguese soil. No «II» here, please.

Again, let me tell everyone abroad that there is no Miguel II in Portugal's history. The person the anti-democracy absolutists call so is only the son of a banned prince who once usurpated the throne of his elder brother. That second Miguel never visited Portugal in his life.Only a few hundereds of people still fight to make believe there ever was a Miguel II. But they have been quite active in this forum  ;)

Who would want to marry a traitor who betrayed his own elder brother by usurpating his throne. He was known all over Europe as «the tyran from Portugal» by the time he sat on his stolen throne. Just look at the prints and papers from that period.

Amelio, why do you repeat yourself? We all know your opinion.
Ich aber breite trauernd aus
die weiten weissen Schwingen,
Und kehr' ins Feenreich nach Haus -
Nichts soll mich wieder bringen.

Hello  :)

Does anyone know where are buried Dom Miguel II and his wives?

Have they been brought to Portugal?

Thank you


His first wife Elisabeth Thurn und Taxis is buried in Kloster Engelberg near Kleinheubach, Germany. It is a beautiful peaceful place on the top of a hill. I wonder why she was buried there? And why D. Miguel and his second wife are not buried there too?

Kloster Engelberg near Kleinheubach is the family crypt of the  Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. This was the family of Miguel's mother and second wife. I don't know why his first wife should be buried there. Miguel was not buried there but in Kloster Maria Himmelfahrt, Bronnbach.
