Pretender to the to the throne of Araucanía and Patagonia
After the death in 2014 of the former pretender Philippe Boiry, he succeeded on January 9, 2014 as pretender to the throne of Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia under the name of Antoine IV.[2]
Whether the Mapuche themselves accept this, or are even aware of it, is unclear.[3]
Some historians describe the Kingdom of Araucanía as a "curious and semi-comic episode".[4]
The pretenders to the throne of Araucania and Patagonia are called monarchs and sovereigns of fantasy[5][6][7][8][9], "having only fanciful claims to a kingdom without legal existence and having no international recognition"[10]. 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[11].
He died on December 16, 2017.[12]
