Romanian Duke Rumored as Democratic Outlaw and Explorer
The Romanian Duke Rudolph William Martinoich von Rovigno, banished in 1908 for democratic ideas, is portrayed as a globe trotter friend of Buffalo Bill. He helped demonstrate a tractor at the Midland Empire fair in Billings and has pursued wild hunts, scientific expeditions, and aviation dreams with an invisible airplane project amid bouts of cross country travel. He is described as son of a Montenegrin grand duke and kin to European royalty.
