| @caramba - yes, but why is the clue asking for the empress dowager for China, but the king for Spain. Alfonso XIII and Guangxu were both formally the head of state, but neither had real political power. Maria Cristina and Cixi in both cases had all real power. I'd also had that Ferdinand was not Prince-Regent of Bulgaria, which implies that he was ruling on behalf of someone else - a minor or someone mentally incapacitated. He was just Prince of Bulgaria, in the same way that Albert II is presently the Prince of Monaco, or Hans Adam II is Prince of Liechtenstein. |
