The Tin King

Much of the Boisrouvray family fortune came from a tin mine in the 
New World. Like the marriages royalty made in California to the 
daughters of the Forty-Niners who struck it rich, a kin of Guy Du 
Temple de Rougemont married 'The Tin King'.

Another amazing coincidence, is, Albina du Boisrouvray was the 
cousin of Prince Rainier of Monaco, the Comte de Rosemont.

If the Templars were still in existance, then would they be 
arranging royal marriages to wealthy non-royals in order to bring 
their family fortune into the fold? Were they doing such a thing 
before their persicution, the king of France and the Pope seeing 
their royal arrangements being usurped by the Templars who may have 
come upon an important genealogy in regards to Lazarus of Autun?

"Albina was born in Paris, the daughter of Count Guy du Boisrouvray 
and Luz Mila Patino, but her roots stretch across the Atlantic to 
Bolivia.  Albina's grandfather Simon Patino worked as a miner in the 
Altiplano tin mines, to become one of the wealthiest tin magnates in 
the world."

Albina du Boisrouvray, who will receive an honorary doctor of humane 
letters degree, is the daughter of Count Guy du Boisrouvray and 
Countess Luz Mila Patino of Bolivia. She worked as a journalist and 
in 1971 formed her own movie production company, producing 22 films 
in 17 years. She was named Chevalier des Arts et Lettres by the 
French government and was awarded the French National Order of 
Merit. The Association Francois-Xavier Bagnoud, established to 
perpetuate her son's "mission and preserve the radiance of his 
memory," supports aerospace engineering education and research, 
among others.

Bolivian capitalist. He owned rich tin mines in Bolivia and invested 
his enormous fortune, thought to have been among the world's 
largest, in other financial enterprises. Called the Tin King, Patiño 
exerted considerable influence on his country's governmental 
policies, though he spent most of the latter half of his life 
abroad. Many of his Bolivian holdings were nationalized after the 
revolution of 1952.

Albina du Boisrouvray

Albina du Boisrouvray, a prominent French Countess, hotel 
entrepreneur and former film producer is the driving force behind an 
international citizens' initiative to respond to the global AIDS 
pandemic, focusing on the plight of children.
  
Despite her vast wealth and close familial relationships with some 
of Europe's most glamorous royal families (Count du Boisrouvray was 
a cousin of Prince Rainier of Monaco), Albina, as she prefers to be 
known, became personally engaged with people at the margins of 
society--the sick, the dying, and now the youngest victims of the 
AIDS disaster.  She has been an advocate of the inextricable 
relationship between health and human rights on an international 
scale.

As a young woman Albina married Swiss helicopter pilot Bruno 
Bagnoud.  Their son Fran?ois-Xavier followed the path of his aviator 
father, earning a degree in Aerospace Engineering from the 
University of Michigan College of Engineering.  By age 24 Fran?ois-
Xavier had flown more than 300 rescue missions.  In January 1986, 
however, during a support mission in the Mali desert, Fran?ois-
Xavier's helicopter crashed, and the "Little Prince of the 
Mountains," as he was dubbed, died from his injuries.
Devastated, Albina turned her grief into action and her fortune into 
funding.  To honor her son's generous spirit and commitment to 
rescue, she sold the majority of her inheritance (the jewelry 
auction was the largest in Sotheby's history), and founded The 
Fran?ois-Xavier Bagnoud Foundation, and its non-governmental 
organization (NGO) arm, Association Fran?ois-Xavier Bagnoud, with 
100 million dollars.  Since then, Albina has been tenacious in her 
efforts to help the world's most destitute children, traveling the 
world to promote specific and effective initiatives. 
  
Most recently in January 2000, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, 
Switzerland Albina reaffirmed her commitment to launch a global 
crusade to support and make visible the tens of million of children 
who have been orphaned by the AIDS crisis, calling on the world's 
richest individuals and corporations to create an endowment that 
would provide a safety net and fulfill Article 24 of the United 
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

With Albina as President, these are some of the achievements of AFXB 
and the FXB Foundation:

The 21 of December of 1942, to 10 in the morning, the soldiers 
opened fire against the multitude with machine guns, a mortar of 
campaign and guns. The 8,000 working strikers of the tin mines of 
Simón Patiño in Catavi, Bolivia, accompanied by their spouses and 
children, did not have any refuge available. The fire continued 
until the 3 of afternoon. It was never known how many miners, women 
and children died that day. Officially one said that it had 19 died 
and 40 wounded ones. Nevertheless, an eyewitness assured that more 
than 40 corpses they were carried in trucks. And an official who was 
in the site declared that at least 400 dead ones were buried 
precipitadamente that same day in a near cemetery, being adopted 
precautions so that the losses could not be counted. The expenses of 
coffins and burials ran generously on the part of the Company with 
seat in Wall ßstreet, just like cigarettes for the troops and 
whiskey for the officials. One did not inquire that one single one 
of the soldiers had been hurt or dead during the action. The leaders 
of the Union of Offices Several of Catavi that organized strike by a 
wage increase of 100% went to the jail, and soon sent to diverse 
concentration camps in the forests of the Beni, infested of distant 
diseases and of the civilization.
