DUC DE GUISE DEAD
EXILE IN TANGIERS STORMY CAREER ENDS PRETENDER TO FRENCH THRONE (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 27, 3.15 p.m.) TANGIERS, August 26 The death is announced of the Due de Guise, the pretender to the French Throne. After the establishment of the Republic in 1871 the French royal
dynasty of the Bourbons was banned from France. Following the extinction of the pure Bourbon line in the nineties, the Bourbon-Orleans branch has been recognised by the French royalists as the legitimate pretender to the throne. The late Due de Guise (styled King Henry V by his followers) lived at Stockel-les-Bruxelles, in Belgium, for many years, but following the German invasion of the Low Countries he fled to England and later to Tangiers (Spanish Morocco). In recent years, however, the Royalist activities have centred in the Duke’s son, the Comte de Paris.
