Philippe of Belgium

Jo?

King Philippe.

No. David Edwards.

Uh, King Leopold of Belgium.

Such continuities illustrate that even after Charles' death, his illegitimate legacy endured through patronage systems that persisted for generations.

If one traces the lineage of modern European royalty, a surprising number, such as Prince Felipe VI of Spain or King Philippe of Belgium, can all claim descent from Charles II.

It raises an intriguing question: Did the king intentionally create a dispersed network of loyalists by recognizing his natural offspring? The evidence from his correspondences indicates that Charles' decisions about titles were at least partly motivated by a desire to avoid the kind of civil conflict that had marked the earlier part of his life.

For example, the grants given to Barbara Palmer's children occurred during periods of relative stability, suggesting they were safe political instruments rather than dangerous claims.

The wider guest list reflects Harald's place within the network of European royal families.

Published attendance lists include King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium, and King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands.

Spain's King Felipe and Queen Letizia are also listed, along with Queen Sofia.

Representatives from Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, and Japan are expected, as is King Abdullah of Jordan.

It's King of Spain.

And the King Philippe is now the, and it's the Bourbon family that is now holding the King of Jerusalem title.

And this goes all the way back to the Knights Templar crowning themselves as Anjou, as the king of Jerusalem, and having a scioning in of Benjamite bloodlines that I talk about in book one.

And so this Benjamite inheritance, they would take back to the king of Saul as part of that royal bloodline.
