In a historical urban legend, two boys of Spanish royalty were said to have been cleaning guns. They were 18 and 14 at the time. They were in a closed room, the 14 year old was said to have been shot in the head and killed. It is uncertain how the gun went off, but legend says the 18 year old killed his brother. Who were the brothers? They also share very close names with two rivalling brothers of Isabel of Castille, mother of Catherine of Aragon.

It's not an "urban legend." King Juan Carlos of Spain was present when his brother Alfonso was killed by a gunshot wound. This is a fact, not a legend. What is not known is how, exactly, this gunshot wound occurred. The official explanation is that it was an accident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_of_Spain Nov 03 05, 8:31 PM
