It’s hard to say without reading it. Maybe he just wanted to keep his family private, and only told the stories of his public exploits.

“They had two daughters,”

And thus she was Mother Fugger.

The most interesting man in the world? Eye patch and everything.

Sounds like he just could not get enough of those Fugger women.

A lot of the obituaries of British WWII luminaries in the Times and the Telegraph read like this.

Sadly, later generations aren't so interesting.

In his memoirs, Happy Odyssey, Carton de Wiart makes no reference to his wife or to his daughters.

Dude did you read her name? Countess Friederike Maria Karoline Henriette Rosa Sabina Franziska Fugger von Babenhausen would require half an inkwell just to write out.

And she probably would have been annoyed if he had called her Fred.
