Archduke Anton of Austria

Archduke Anton of Austria, Prince of Tuscany (Anton Maria Franz Leopold Blanka Karl Joseph Ignaz Raphael Michael Margareta Nicetas von Habsburg-Lothringen; Vienna, 20 March 1901 Salzburg, 22 October 1987) was a possible Carlist-Carloctavismo pretender to the Spanish throne and an Archduke of Austria by birth. In 1919, all titles of nobility and royalty were prohibited and outlawed in Austria (while in Hungary they were restored in 1927 and the aristocratic House of Magnates continued until 1945). He was the seventh of ten children born to Archduke Leopold Salvator of Austria, Prince of Tuscany and Infanta Blanca of Spain, daughter of Infante Carlos, Duke of Madrid.
