Early comments

The jewelers of Madrid, afraid to send invoices to the Generalissimo, agreed to collectively distribute the losses they suffered as a result of Carmen's business.

I seriously doubt this and a citation is needed because it sounds too much like urban legend. GS3 User talk:GS3 2 january 2007 22:52 CET

Francisco was convicted in 1979 for the murder of a male cabaret performer in a hotel in Tarragona.

The Spanish text says that her grand-son Francisco was convicted for poaching, it was in fact a male goat he shot, not a male cabaret player. :) Poaching is of course a horrible offense, that's true.

Her only daughter was created Duchess in 1975: http://pages.prodigy.net/ptheroff/gotha/franco.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.40.110.66 (talk) 10:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paltry references

The article suffers from a bad shortage of citations so it is not apparent how it was rated a 'B' class article. — O'Dea (talk) 09:29, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

False Facts: Franco not "head of state", his wife not a "first lady" in 1936

the rebel general Franco was certainly not elected "head of state" in sept. 1936, even if the military junta of his consorts appointed him. Head of state was the president of the republic Manuel Azana. It took the rebels 2,5 years and the aid of fascist Germany and Italy to win over the loyalist democrats and socialists of the second republic. so Franco's wife was no first lady.
