Talk:Mike de Albuquerque

Pseudonym.

"de Albuquerque" is not his birth name, although it is close to it. His birth name is Michael P. De Allriquerque; also his mother's name before marriage was Spencer. Pop-wise, I can kinda understand why he should change it to Albuquerque. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.226.90.18 (talk) 08:03, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to

Bevan, Bev (1980). Pearce, Garth (ed.). The Electric Light Orchestra Story. Mushroom Books. p. 46. ISBN 0-907394-01-9.

his uncle was the Duke of D'Albuquerque, which could mean either Luís Alberto Oulman da Costa de Sousa de Macedo, 7º conde de Mesquitela, the second Duque de Albuquerque; or Beltrán Alfonso Osorio, 18th duke of Alburquerque. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:54, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
