Does anyone know where Elias de Bourbon-Parme is buried?  I heard that he has a famiily crypt in a church in Lower Austria, but it's very difficult to locate!

According to Alois Jahn ("Das Haus Habsburg") Elias and his wife Archduchess Maria Anna were laid to rest at a place called Thalberger Schwaig / Neue Glashütte which is in the northwest of Friedberg in Austria. Their tombs seem to be in the chapel St. Ludwig.

Ich aber breite trauernd aus
die weiten weissen Schwingen,
Und kehr' ins Feenreich nach Haus -
Nichts soll mich wieder bringen.

This website (http://www.stift-vorau.at/65_Pfarre-Pinggau.aspx?LNG=de) calls the chapel "Prinz Bourbon-Parma Gruftkapelle auf der Thalberger Schwaig" (Prince Bourbon-Prama crypt at the Thalberger Schwaig).

Are you planning to visit Elias' grave?

Hello Remi,

according to the wikipedia entry of the village of Pinggau Elias and Maria Anna are buried in the so-called Prinz Bourbon-Parma-Gruftkapelle on the Thalberger Schwaig. Pinggau is located near a low mountain range called Wechsel and it has grown together with the city of Friedberg. As far as I understood it, the Thalberger Schwaig is on the mountain Wechsel and belongs to the parish of Pinggau. The village in the south of Pinggau is Mönichkirchen, but this doesn't seem to be the place where the Bourbon-Parmas were laid to rest.

Ich aber breite trauernd aus
die weiten weissen Schwingen,
Und kehr' ins Feenreich nach Haus -
Nichts soll mich wieder bringen.

It's been a few years since I participated in this forum.  It's been very interesting reading all of the posts pertaining to the Bourbon-Parma family and the Comte de Chambord.  Some of the information is misleading, however.  I will be in Viareggio and Lucca this fall to examine the remaining papers of the Comte de Chambord at the State Archives.  They were donated to the City in 1963 by the eldest daughter of Princesse Beatrice de Bourbon-Massimo.  Many of his papers were burned at his death in 1883;  Don Jaime de Bourbon inherited many interesting items and had everything at Schloss Frohsdord inventoried in 1910.  Many valuable items and papers were given to an acquaintance, Viscount Canson, just before WWI (including the handwritten memoir of Duchesse d'Angouleme in the Temple Tower), who took the papers out of Austria.  Later, after Don Jaime's death, the Pricesse Massimo (his sister) tried to get Canson to return everything---to no avail!  And then the Russians burned many things at Frohsdorf in 1945.  So many things are now lost forever.  I'm very interested in the story of the Comte de Chambord's journal----how did Mr. Delorme acquire it?  Where was the original found?

Welcome back Robert...I'll ask Philippe and post his answer here...enjoy Viareggio and Lucca...both beautiful places. I visited them often when I studied Italian in Florence, many Summers ago.

Many thanks, Sveta for the very interesting pic of Jacques et Brigitte's wedding. I would like to know who is the lady with the figure surrounded by a circle?
I recognize, on the right, the young Anne, future spouse of king Michel of Rumania et Michel of Bourbon Parma, in french uniform...Can be seen also Jean of Luxemburg, his uncle prince Xavier of Bourbon Parma, prince Georges of Greece....But the others? Difficult to say...

I have this I.D. list :

 Behind the bride and groom we have Prince René and Princess Margrethe of Bourbon-Parma - sitting between the bride's parents Countess Christina and Count Josef Holstein-Ledreborg.
The elegant lady to the extreme right is Cr Pss Märtha of Norway - and next to her it's the groom's younger siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Michel of Bourbon-Parma.
The man standing behind Anne of Bourbon-Parma is wearing the uniform of a Danish chamberlain. Don't know his name, but probably a noble landowner.
Behind him - in a light dress - we see Princess Margaretha of Denmark. Her husband and youngest son, Prince Axel and Prince Flemming, are seen to the right of her.
Behind the bride's mother there is a woman with a big hat...perhaps Princess Luise of Prussia (b. 1917).The uniformed man next to her is Prince Viggo of Denmark.
Behind Prince Viggo it's Princess Aage of Denmark, Prince George of Greece, Princess Ingeborg of Sweden, the priest, and Princess Viggo of Denmark.
Behind Pss Aage: Pss Elisabeth of Luxembourg, Pss M-Adelaïde of Luxembourg, maybe Pss Isabelle of B-Parma (dau of Sixtus), Hereditary Gr Duke Jean of Luxembourg, probably Count Carl Holstein-Ledreborg (brother of the bride), probably Pr André of B-Parma (brother of the groom), Pr Georg of Denmark, and Cr Pr Olav of Norway.
In the white circle: Grand Duchess Olga of Russia (she is singled out because the photo was printed with an article about the grand duchess).
To the right of Olga: Prince Erik of Denmark, and behind him Prince Xavier of Bourbon-Parma.
In the back row, far left: Probably Count Valdemar of Rosenborg and Count Knud Holstein-Ledreborg (brother of the bride).
