Prince Renounces Thurn and Taxis Title for Annuity
The Imperial Gazette in Vienna reports Prince Rudolph of Thurn and Taxis has relinquished his princely title to become Baron von Broskow, to secure perpetual annuities for his wife and children. Once a legal scholar and politician, he fled to Philippopolis after disownment, later becoming district attorney and chief judge of eastern Roumelia. A Bulgarian royal marriage and imperial intervention led to the compromise: surrender of the title and appellation in exchange for a large annuity.
