Duke of Coimbra

[edit]

When was he created Duke of Coimbra? His older brother Fernando didn't have a title when he died so would it have been created when he became heir or when he reached adulthood.

Well in the Gentlemen's magazine of 1862, he is referred to merely as a prince and not by a ducal title, which is what the British periodical would have referred to him as if appropriate. Being a year after his brothers' deaths and when he was heir, I'm going to say the title was probably conferred when the prince came of age. This is purely my research and no way fact or anything else. Cheers, I hope this helped! Cristiano Tomás (talk) 00:50, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
