[edit]

Much of the available English-language bibliography refers to "Diego", but I was curious to discover that no official documents seem to exist under that name. The period coincides with a "Vicente" holding the title of VII Duque del Parque, and I have come across several reliable sources (e.g., (in Spanish) "El Archivo del Marqués de Castrillo-Duque del Parque: Documentación de la administración de Guadalajara. Siglos XIV-XX", courtesy of the library at the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha that show the family tree covering that generation of Dukes del Parque). The clincher, at least as far as I'm concerned, is one of the references I've provided, from Spain's Congreso de los Diputados, which actually mentions this discrepancy, but without giving any further explanation. So until someone decides the guy is important enough to have an Unauthorised Biography written about him, and delves deeper into the family history, and uncovering whatever skeletons there may be lying around in closets, the matter will just have to rest here. --Technopat (talk) 17:24, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
