Los carlistas: Carlos VII y Jaime III

Today we bring you a new journey through the Carlist dynasty with Carlos VII, Duke of Madrid, the last great Carlist king, and his son, the self-styled Jaime III. The former, married to his cousin Margarita, was the protagonist of the Third Carlist War and fought against the forces of Alfonso XII. A womanizer, he had several affairs and a family that caused him considerable trouble due to his daughters' unhappy marriages. Widowed, after many years separated from his wife, he remarried Berta de Rohan, one of the reasons, according to historians, for the disappearance of many Carlist documents. The latter, Jaime, a prince born in exile, spent much of his life at the Austro-Hungarian court and served in the army of Nicholas II of Russia. He nearly married a Bavarian princess and Zita of Bourbon, the last Empress of Austria. One of the lesser-known figures of Carlism, eternally single and without issue upon his death, the leadership passed to his uncle, the Duke of San Jaime, and from then on, it diverged from what they considered the legitimate line.
