About Philippe Boiry
Philippe Paul Alexandre Henri Boiry (February 19, 1927 – January 5, 2014) was a journalist and a pretender to the throne of the Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia from October 26, 1952, to January 5, 2014. == Personal life == Philippe Paul Alexandre Henri Boiry was the son of Ferdinand Boiry and Jeanne Reynaud. In 1950 he married Jacqueline Marquain (1927–1978) and in 1996 he married Élisabeth Jeanne de Chavigny (1939–2006). He had no children from his two marriages. In 1980, he founded a school of communication in Levallois-Perret (France). === Pretender to the throne of Araucanía and Patagonia === On August 28, 1873, the Criminal Court of Paris ruled that Antoine de Tounens, first "king of Araucania and Patagonia" did not justify his status of sovereign. Since the death of Antoine de Tounens, some French citizens without familial relations declared themselves to be pretenders to the throne of Araucania and Patagonia. Whether the Mapuche themselves accept this, or are even aware of it, is unclear. In 1952 Philippe Boiry claimed that Jacques Antoine Bernard pretender to the throne of Araucanie and Patagonia abdicated in his favour. Until his death in 2014 he claimed to be pretender to the throne of Araucania and Patagonie under the name "prince Phillippe I".
