context_page_description: Jaime de Borbón y de Borbón-Parma, known as Duke of Madrid and as Jacques de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou in France, was the Carlist claimant to the throne of Spain under the name Jaime III and the Legitimist claimant to the throne of France as Jacques I.
context_section_description: Initially Don Jaime lived in a semi-rural, military-dominated Sielce suburb, hardly within the administrative city limits; his residence was a modest one-room apartment in the regimental officers' barracks building at Агриколя Дольная street, with two batmen – one of them Spanish – living next door. Starting June 1900 he was already reported as living at Шопена street 8, in a plushy, prestigious area and in a newly constructed apartment building. Despite his modest rank don Jaime took part in official feasts seated among most prestigious participants, be it members of the House of Romanov, top Russian generals like military district commander or civil officials like president of Warsaw. Very sporadically he was reported as taking part in gatherings of local elites, either those associated with visits of his distant relatives like Ferdinand Duke of Alençon or feasts of apparently unrelated Polish aristocrats like count Mieczysław Woroniecki.
  Though possibly familiar with religious hierarchs, in general Don Jaime was not listed as engaged in local community life; he declared spending his free time in theatres and restaurants and indeed was noted there. He was, however, a noticeable city figure as a sportsman; apart from joining the local horse racing society he was particularly recognised for automobile activities. He owned one of the first cars in Warsaw, a De Dion Bouton machine allegedly well recognised by the city dwellers. The only local he seemed to have been in closer relations with was Stanisław Grodzki, a Warsaw automobile pioneer and owner of the first car dealership; local motor fans were greeting Don Jaime when he was launching his automobile trips. Rather accidentally don Jaime was also acknowledged and cheered as a sportsman by "forgemen, peasants and innkeepers". Spanish press reported Carlist officials departing from Madrid to see him, but the Polish one has not noted any visits paid.
