on a pleasure trip, fell in love with
Dona Carmen Santa Maria, daugh-
ter of the Spanish governor of the
Island of Juan Fernandez, whom he
married, and created one of the
largest Chilean families. Jorge
Lyon has always been considered a
relative of the Earl of Strathmore,
head of the Lyon family and father
of Queen Elizabeth, of England. ..
The Lyons of Chile always kept in
contact with their English cousins,
and this is why the branch Of Great
Britain always recognized the Chilean
branch. The Queen continued the
family's tradition, and when she was
the Duchess of York, invited her
cousins, who had arrived from Chile,
to stay with her in England. When
she became Queen of England, she
received the Fluctuations of her far
away relatives, and naturally an
swered them as one of the family.
