Biography

Early life and family

Armando Ignácio Brum was born in 9 September 1961 as the youngest child of Mário Ignácio Brum, 4th Baron of Roches, to Lindalva Barbosa de Sousa Sabóia, an illegitimate agnatic member of the House of Savoy as great-great-granddaughter of King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy. He was born in the former State of Guanabara, which ceased to exist when he was 14. Armando's father Mário, the 4th Baron of Roches, was legitimate son of Henrique Ignácio Brum, 3rd Baron of Roches. Henrique, in turn, was son of Bernardino Ignácio Brum, half-brother to Simão de Roches da Cunha Brum. Simão, childless, adopted Henrique as his own son following Bernardino's death so he could inherit both the title, but more importantly, the state of the Brum family in the Azores.

Armando grew in the neighbourhood of Botafogo, in Rio de Janeiro, at the estate owned by the family since 1876. He was educated at the St. Ignatius College, one of the most prestigious schools in the country, graduating in 1978. He then studied hotel management at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro and later studied tourism at Estácio de Sá University.

Marriages and children

At the early age of 20, Armando had his first child, the future Princess Élida of Ebenthal, with a romantic affair, Wanda da Costa, in 1981. After it the two of them married and eventually had two more daughters, Laíze in 1984 and Eleine in 1987. Due to constant conflicts that strained the relationship, Armando and Wanda divorced in 1990. In 1994 Armando met Marília Carvalho while working at a hotel in Copacabana. The two began dating and soon decided to move in together, eventually moving to Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará, where Armando was employed as a manager of a luxury hotel. There, in 1998, the future King Arthur II of Ebenthal was born. Armando and Marília's relationship was peaceful, but Armando, a womanizer, had multiple extramarital affairs (although the couple was never officially married). Because of this, Marília separated from Armando and returned to Rio de Janeiro with her son. Returning to Rio de Janeiro in 2000, Armando began a relationship with Fabíola, a much younger black hairdresser, with whom he had two daughters, Laura in 2004 and Sophia in 2007. The couple got married in 2014.

Furthermore, Armando has five grandchildren: Heitor, Prince of Bruges (2011), son of Princess Élida, Prince Lorenzo (2016), son of Princess Laíze, and Prince Theo (2008) and the twin Princesses Alice and Laran (2018), all children of Princess Eleine.
