The info that I found implies that many of the "exotic" titles of the king of Spain are considered "in disuse" and are mantained for honorific reasons (pro maemoria), in opposition to a title in pretence which implies a claim to the country. | |

Very interesting stuff, and an interesting emperor). | |

The funny thing is how the French administrative law allows to use noble titles as a bonus addendum to names, but IT evidently didn't get that message, which technically means 2, 3, 4, lots of lines worth of names and titles. In practice you got 16 characters for your last name at school when I was there. (And dare I add, it was still too long.) | |
