Life

Prince Giuseppe was born as the third but second surviving son of Robert I, Duke of Parma and his first wife, Princess Maria Pia of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. Like his older brother and predecessor, Enrico, he had learning difficulties and was the titular pretender of Parma from 1939 until 1950.

His younger brother and successor, Elias, took up the role as head of the family in 1907 and acted as regent, although Giuseppe continued to be considered by monarchists as Joseph I of Parma. Giuseppe died unmarried and without issue and was succeeded as titular pretender of Parma by his brother Elias upon his death in 1950.

Ancestry
gollark: It's apparently not very simple because the spec is poorly written and randomly has undefined behavior.
gollark: It's simpler than at least Rust and such.
gollark: Zig, Go (ew), Rust, D, I don't actually know any others?
gollark: There are lots of *attempts* to make "C but newer", but they're not as ubiquitous because C is, well, old and comparatively simple.
gollark: It's a newer idea, and a nice one which lots of languages now *have*.
