[Untitled][edit]

There was some confusion made between Antoine Bibesco and Robert de Montesquiou as a result of something said by Proust. It was actually Montesquiou that Proust meant when he said that he "can legitimately claim to stand in the line of succession to the throne of France", as Montesquiou was indeed a descendant of the House of France.

The actual Proust quote (in a section of "Pastiches et Melanges" that was added after the marriage of Antoine Bibesco and Elizabeth Asquith) reads, "She (Elizabeth) could, it is true, have had her pick among all the great ones of the earth, but what these critics did not know was that the Bibescos, like the Noailles, the Montesquious, the Chimays and the Bauffremonts, all belong to the House of Caput, and can legitimately claim to stand in the line of succession to the throne of France." <span style="font-size: smaller;" Paul Darby173.35.58.235 (talk) 21:23, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
