The wives and children listed to Amadeo do not match with those list for his mother, Irene of Greece and Denmark. I don't know where to find the references, but whoever created those two pages should check their work

[edit] Succession to the Throne

As I understand, the defunct Italian throne would need a male heir. Amadeo's rival to the throne, Victor Emmanuel, has only one son - Emmanuel Filiberto. He, in turn, only has daughters. Provided that no future son is born to Emmanuel Filiberto, then Amadeo and his male-line descendants will eventually become undisputed heirs to the Italian throne. Am I right?

Yes, after Vittorio Emanuele and Emanuele Filiberto, Amedeo and Aimone are next in line. After that, I don't know what happens, whether it passes to any remaining morganatic descendants or not. Aimone is engaged to Princess Olga of Greece, and could have sons to carry on the line. Of course, EF's daughters are still young, so he could always have a son. Morhange 06:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
