Jaime Luitpold Isabelino Enrique de Borbón y Battenberg, Infante of Spain, Duke of Segovia (
June 23,
1908-
March 20,
1975), was the second son of King
Alfonso XIII of Spain and his wife Princess
Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg. He was born in the royal palace of Granja de San Ildefonso in
Segovia.
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 1913), daughter of the French nobleman Don Roger de Dampierre, 2° Duke of San Lorenzo and Viscount of Dampierre, Nobleman of Viterbo (* Tours 9-5-1892 + Chaumont-sur-Tharonne 14-2-1975) and of the Italian princess Donna Vittoria Ruspoli (* Roma 31-12-1892 + ivi 13-1-1982), and they had two sons, named for Jaime's hemophiliac brothers, Alfonso and Gonzalo:
Don Jaime and Emmanuelle de Dampierre 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, at 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 renounce to 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 on St. Gall Cantonal Hospital in Switzerland on March 20, 1975. He's buried at the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
