The
Proclamation of King Charles
6/X/1759 |
After
just three days, another official document was
issued: the Proclamation of 6 October 1759 by
which Charles, become King of Spain, finally sanctioned
the irreversible process of division of the two
Royal Families.
In particular, King Charles said that «the
order of succession I established can never lead
to the unification of the Spanish Monarchy and
the Italian Sovereign State and Dominions, so
that the above mentioned Males or Females of my
lineage can be heirs of the Italian kingdom only
if they are not recognised either future Kings
of Spain or Princes of the Asturias».
Now the historical and dynastic reasons according
to which it was impossible for Charles of Bourbon,
son of the Count of Caserta, to be the Head of
the Royal House after his marriage to the Infant
of Spain are clear, because after his marriage
he would have become a «Spanish
Prince». |
He would
have infringed centuries-old laws and regulations never
abrogated, which even his ancestor Charles III of Bourbon
had abided to and renounced the Kingdom of Naples when
he became King of Spain.
That’s why the Deed of Cannes was necessary, and
that’s why the younger brother, Ranieri –
father of the present Head of the Royal House, Ferdinand,
Duke of Castro and Grand Master of the Sacred Military
Constantinian Order of St. George - lawfully became
Head of the Royal House of Bourbon Two Sicilies (and
therefore Grand Master of the Constantinian Order).
The Certainty of Law
To conclude, let
us examine the issue from a strictly legal point of
view and follow the unquestionable and irreplaceable
explanation given by Ettore Gallo in his volume we mentioned
above  .
First of all, «in the text
of the Deed of Cannes there are nor tacit conditions
nor express conditions: moreover, the text mentions
family laws and regulations and habits as well as the
solemn deeds of 1759 and it makes reference to the possible
succession to the Crown of the Two Sicilies, therefore
the text shows that the waiver was fully aware of the
consequences for himself and his lineage and the possible
dynastic restoration in the Two Sicilies».
