CHEVALIERS DE LA TOISON D'OR

MAISON DE Bourbon-Carlos (HOUSE OF BOURBON)


Knights of the Golden Fleece nominated by the Carlist Kings

No diplomas or official rolls survive, so precise dates cannot be given. It is our understanding that upon the reconcilliation of the Carlist branch with the ruling branch of the family that these appointments were confirmed by the Order. However, many questions remain that may never be answered, as how Carlos VI could be sovereign from 1845 but not a Knight until c. 1850.
