Potential claimants of the House of Orléans-Braganza In 1909, members of the
House of Orléans and the
House of Orléans-Braganza signed the Pact of Brussels (also known as the Declaration of Brussels), the
Duke of Orléans being present. The dynastic pact created the title of
Prince of Orléans-Braganza for the
Count d'Eu and his descendants, thus maintaining the princely status of his house, although this is considered a house distinct from the Royal House of France, and the Count d'Eu did not in fact recover his former position in the line of Orleans succession to the French throne. Under the Pact of Brussels the Count d'Eu and his sons equally undertook in his name and the name of his descendants not to contest in any way to the branch of the
Duke d'Alençon the possession of the title of Duke of Nemours. Nevertheless,
Charles Philippe d'Orléans, the last Duke of Nemours and only descendant of the Alençon, died without heirs. His death opened the theoretical possibility for the Head of the House of Orléans-Braganza to claim said title without violating the family pact. ==List of duchesses==
