About this person

The Vassouras branch asserts its claim in opposition to the Petrópolis branch of the Orléans-Braganzas, headed by Pedro Carlos. Both Bertrand and Pedro Carlos are great-grandsons of Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil, daughter and heir of Emperor Pedro II, of the House of Braganza. The rivalry between the two branches stems from a dynastic dispute involving their fathers - who were first cousins - regarding the validity of renunciations and succession rights within the former Brazilian imperial family.
