About George Graf und Freiherr von Bothmer zu Schwegerhoff

George Criser Graf und Freiherr von Bothmer zu Schwegerhoff was born at St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica, California on October 29, 1952.  The room in which he was born in was declared diplomatic open space by his father to make certain his son and heir's titles and lineage would be in tact being born in a diplomatic free zone.   He is the only son of Dr. Karl Joseph Albert Graf und Freiherr von Bothmer zu Schwegerhoff, who was the Councilor of Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Hungary, who gave the historic 1956 speech of warning the Hungarian people that the American troops would not be arriving to aid them in their stance against the invading Soviet forces.  George Graf und Freiherr von Bothmer zu Schwegerhoff grew up in the United States with his American family.  During that time he spent his divided childhood in the US and Europe being introduced to many of the Royal Houses and aristocracy in exile and in state.   He was basically kept anonymous, if not an outright secret, except to a select few throughout Europe in that his father's greatest fear was a kidnapping of his beloved son to use as a tool to further harm Hungary, and to allow the Hungarian Noble and Royal family lines to die out.
