BONN - Europe's royalty will be gathering today for the funeral of a man who laid claim to some of the greatest kingdoms of Europe but never sat on a throne himself. Albrecht, Duke of Bavaria and pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, Ireland and France, will be buried this morning in the family plot of Kloster Andechs, a monastery south of Munich.
Albrecht (91), was the last living link with the Wittelsbach dynasty's reign spanning eight centuries.
