One hell of a family story!!! Just Incredible!!! Im really happy for her, cos it really does seem to have made her feel more at peace :) I wish the series were somewhat more detailed or in depth or longer, like the British are. This one jumps a bit too fast.

I am still puzzled on what the connection is between the Torlonia family and Madame Royale??

@Fedesha
The link is that the descendants of her ancester Marin Torlonias married into a noble italian family having at some point Madame Royale as ancester. Catherine de Medicis (1519/1589) became queen of France by marrying the future Henri II and Marie de Medicis (1575/1642) married Henri IV (Brooke's ancester) and was queen of France until 1610 when Henri was murdered.

@Fedesha The Medici were from Florence, so it's quite understandable that their daughter "Madame Royale" married into italian nobility : after all, she was half italian herself.
I hope it helps.

@19Edurne No, sorry. This does not help me at all. I would be very interested in finding out which Torlonia (or Torlonia ancestor) is the one that married Madame Royale. Who was this missing link/

OK, let's try again : if you look in part 3, at 7.16, you will see the scroll with the tree of the Torlonia' family. There, we can see it's not an ancestor of Marin who married Madame Royale, but his great grand son or daughter (Carlo or Carla, I cannot see clearly enought), who married one of her descendant : Marin Torlonias himself isn't Madame Royale descendant. As BS says, it's another branch of her father's family.
I hope this time it helps.

Well, it seems to have helped finaly ! I wasn't expecting for you to send me her whole family tree, but thanks nonetheless. I'm not a genealogy specialist, I just think broadcasts like this one are an interesting way to learn more about history. And in this case, it's a hell of a story !
