Former King Manoel to marry cousin

February 9, 1912

Reports in Lisbon are stating that former King Manoel of Portugal is to marry Infanta Elisabeth, the daughter of Dom Miguel.   According to the New York Times, the report "receives some credence on account of the recent reconciliation between the two families."

The legitimist newspaper, Nacas, reports that King Manoel and his mother, Queen Amelie, were the godparents to Dom Miguel's youngest daughter, Maria Adelaide "being represented at the baptismal ceremony at St. Jean de Luz."
