How then, does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandia fit in in all this? According to his bio: Juan Borgia inherited the Spaniard title Duke of Gandia, the Borgias' ancestral home in Spain. So if he inherited the title of Duke of Gandia because he lived in Gandia, why isn't any of this mentioned in this page?

Actually, Juan's brother, Pedro Luis, inherited the lands that would become the Duchy of Gandia. He was proclaimed Duke of Gandia in 1485. When Pedro Luis died in 1491, Juan inherited his estates. Read the article again, but this time carefully. This is all mentioned. --Diocleziano (talk) 15:22, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article is full of patent nonsense. The author confused Crete with Gandia, the ancestral home of the House of Borja in Aragon. --Ghirla^-трёп- 20:37, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just edited the whole thing to remove all references to Crete. I will also likely do a RfD for house of Candia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.252.76.143 (talk) 00:28, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New information about the history of the Duke of Gandia has been added. Historical inaccuracies have been fixed and tested. --Valencian (talk) 20:32, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
