Infante Jaime of Spain, Duke of Segovia (Jaime Luitpold Isabelino Enrique Alberto Alfonso Victor Acacio Pedro Maria de Borbón y Battenberg)
Father:
Alfonso XIII de Borbón, King of Spain (1886-1941)
Mother:
Victoria Eugenia "Ena", Princess of Battenberg (1887-1969)
Because he was deaf-mute as the result of a childhood operation, he renounced his rights to the Spanish throne for himself and his descendants on June 23, 1933. He then became Duke of Segovia. In 1941, however, he proclaimed himself the legitimate heir to the French throne and head of the House of Bourbon, as was known as the Duke of Anjou. He was known to the French legitimists as Henri VI (since 1957, he signed all documents as Jacques Henri).
Jaime married in Rome on March 4, 1935 Victoire Jeanne Joséphine Emmanuelle de Dampierre (born 8 November 1913), daughter of the French nobleman Don Roger de Dampierre, 2° Duke of San Lorenzo and Viscount of Dampierre, Nobleman of Viterbo (1892-1975) and of the Italian princess Donna Vittoria Ruspoli (1892-1982), and they had two sons, named for Jaime's hemophiliac brothers, Alfonso and Gonzalo:
Alfonso, Duke of Anjou and Cádiz (1936 – 1989).
Gonzalo, Duke of Aquitaine (1937 - 2000).
Don Jaime and Emmanuelle de Dampierre Ruspoli divorced on 1947 in Bucharest (recognized by the Italian courts in 1949 but never recognized in Spain) and, on August 3, 1949 in Innsbruck, Don Jaime remarried to divorced singer Charlotte Luise Auguste Tiedemann (1919-1979). However, in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church and of the French legitimists, Emmanuelle de Dampierre remained always his wife.
On December 6, 1949, Don Jaime took back his renunciation of the throne of Spain. On May 3, 1964, he took the title Duke of Madrid as head of the carlist branch of the Spanish succession (recognized as King Jaime IV of Spain by a sizable group of Carlists). On July 19, 1969, Don Jaime definitively renounced the Spanish succession in favour of his nephew, current King Juan Carlos I of Spain, by petition of his son Alfonso de Borbón.
Don Jaime died at the St. Gall Cantonal Hospital in Switzerland on March 20, 1975.
