Maria Francesca of Bourbon-Parma
Princess Maria Francesca of Bourbon-Parma (7 August 1909 – 25 November 1974) was a Spanish dynast and a member of the House of Bourbon-Parma.
She was born in Vienna, second daughter of Elias, Duke of Parma (1880-1959), and his wife, Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria.
Princess Elisabetta died on 20 February 1994 in Bad Ischl, Austria, at the age of 87. She was unmarried and left no children to inherit her wealth. She was survived by her sisters, Princess Alicia, Dowager Duchess of Calabria and Princess Maria Cristina.[1]
Jacobite Pretender[edit]
While Franz, Duke of Bavaria is recognized by most Jacobites as the Stuart heir, arguments have been made for several other candidates. Maria Beatrice of Savoy married her uncle Francis IV, Duke of Modena. This marriage was concluded validly in Sardinia. However, it would have been disputed for Jacobite supporters since they married in Britain, and therefore the Jacobite succession is considered by minor of the Jacobite to have passed from Maria Beatrice to her younger sister Maria Teresa, who married the Duke of Parma. If Maria Francesca's claim were to be recognized she would be known as Mary V of England from 13 June 1983 to 20 February 1994 . Her representative today is your sister HRH Infanta Alicia, Dowager Duchess of Calabria (b. 1917), grandmother of the heir of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
