‘The Countess Catherine Matilda, daughter of James Count d’Albanie’
(that is, of the gentleman first known as Admiral Allen’s son),
‘married Count Ferdinand de Lancastro, by whom she had one son, Count
Charles Ferdinand Montesino de Lancastro _et d’Albanie_, from his
mother. He also served in the Austrian army, in the Kaiser Kürassier
Regiment, or Imperial Cuirassiers, of which the emperor is colonel.
He volunteered, by permission of the emperor, Franz Joseph, into the
Lancers of the Austrian Army Corps which accompanied the Arch-Duke
Maximilian to Mexico, and during the three years’ campaign he received
four decorations for valour in the many actions at which he was
present, two of which were given to him by the Emperor Maximilian, one
being the Gold Cross and Eagle of the Order of Ste. Marie de Guadalupe,
and two by the Emperor Napoleon III., and also four clasps. After the
campaign terminated, he returned to Austria with his regiment, and got
leave to visit his uncle, the present Count d’Albanie, then in London,
where he died on the 28th September, 1873, from inflammation of the
lungs, at the age of twenty-nine years and five days.’ (Signed ‘R. I.
P.’)
