Isabella was born in the <a href="/facts/Royal_Palace_of_Madrid/FyHUf3EM">Royal Palace of Madrid</a> in 1830, the eldest daughter of King <a href="/facts/Ferdinand_VII_of_Spain/Qdy7HS7U">Ferdinand VII of Spain</a>, and of his fourth wife and niece, <a href="/facts/Maria_Christina_of_the_Two_Sicilies/zW4NqvMa">Maria Christina of the Two Sicilies</a>. She was entrusted to the royal governess María del Carmen Machín y Ortiz de Zárate. Queen Maria Christina became regent on 29 September 1833, when her three-year-old daughter Isabella was proclaimed sovereign following the death of Ferdinand VII.
Isabella succeeded to the throne because Ferdinand VII had induced the <a href="/facts/Cortes_Generales/7ujhC4u7">Cortes Generales</a> to help him set aside the <a href="/facts/Salic_law/x0vVD1Dk">Salic law</a>, introduced by the Bourbons in the early 18th century, and to reestablish the older succession law of Spain. The first <a href="/facts/Pretender/P0kudC0X">pretender</a> to the throne, Ferdinand's brother <a href="/facts/Infante_Carlos%2c_Count_of_Molina/Fod82KyR">Infante Carlos, Count of Molina</a>, fought for seven years during Isabella's minority to dispute her title (see <a href="/facts/First_Carlist_War/USGKClKe">First Carlist War</a>). The supporters of Carlos and his descendants were known as <a href="/facts/Carlists/MEW55esE">Carlists</a>, and the fight over the succession was the subject of a number of <a href="/facts/Carlist_Wars/bsRxqINm">Carlist Wars</a> in the 19th century.
Isabella's reign was maintained only through the support of the army. The Cortes and the <a href="/facts/Moderate_Party_(Spain)/FSQ8JAxv">Moderate Liberals</a> and <a href="/facts/Progressive_Party_(Spain)/vrxUMEuT">Progressives</a> reestablished constitutional and parliamentary government, dissolved the religious orders and confiscated their property (including that of the <a href="/facts/Jesuits/n0PeYBB8">Jesuits</a>), and tried to restore order to Spain's finances. After the Carlist war, the regent, Maria Christina, resigned to make way for <a href="/facts/Baldomero_Espartero/XkWE4BfX">Baldomero Espartero</a>, Prince of Vergara, the most successful and most popular Isabelline general. Espartero, a Progressive, remained regent for only two years.
Her minority saw <a href="/facts/Spanish-American_relations/BYE2kjuS">tensions with the United States</a> over the <a href="/facts/United_States_v._The_Amistad/yNkkCm2c">Amistad affair</a>.
Baldomero Espartero was deposed in 1843 by a military and political <a href="/facts/Pronunciamiento/lxnIIapl">pronunciamiento</a> led by Generals <a href="/facts/Leopoldo_O%2527Donnell/ze6pGsqr">Leopoldo O'Donnell</a> and <a href="/facts/Ram%25C3%25B3n_Mar%25C3%25ADa_Narv%25C3%25A1ez/RfdnaWR0">Ramón María Narváez</a>. They formed a cabinet, presided over by <a href="/facts/Joaqu%25C3%25ADn_Mar%25C3%25ADa_L%25C3%25B3pez_y_L%25C3%25B3pez/3MEI2He0">Joaquín María López y López</a>. This government induced the Cortes to declare Isabella of age at 13. Between the beginning of her reign in 1833, and the <a href="/facts/Abdication_of_Margrethe_II/G6PzXd2j">abdication</a> of <a href="/facts/Margrethe_II/xtu1yzjM">Margrethe II</a> of Denmark in 2024, at any given time, there was a queen regnant in Europe.

<h3>Beginnings</h3>

Isabella was declared of age and swore the <a href="/facts/Spanish_Constitution_of_1837/BV0sm1wW">1837 Constitution</a> on 10 November 1843,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a> age thirteen. Despite the alleged parliamentary supremacy, in practice, the "double trust" led to Isabella having a role in the making and toppling of governments, undermining the progressives.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a> The uneasy alliance between moderates and progressives that had toppled Espartero in July 1843 was already disintegrating by the time of the coming of age of the queen.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> Following a brief government led by progressive <a href="/facts/Salustiano_de_Ol%25C3%25B3zaga/a5p9RF6B">Salustiano de Olózaga</a>, the moderates elected their candidate, <a href="/facts/Pedro_Jos%25C3%25A9_Pidal/Bs953fDy">Pedro José Pidal</a>, to the presidency of the Cortes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> After the subsequent decision to dissolve the hostile Cortes by Olózaga on 28 November, rumours about an alleged forcing of the queen to sign the royal decree spread. As a result, Olózaga was prosecuted, removed from political office, and forced to exile, with the Progressive Party already being beheaded, in what was the starting point of their growing disaffection from the Isabelline monarchy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a>

<h3>Moderate decade</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/D%25C3%25A9cada_moderada/MPdI6SGD">Década moderada</a>

Dominated by the figure of <a href="/facts/Ram%25C3%25B3n_Mar%25C3%25ADa_Narv%25C3%25A1ez/RfdnaWR0">Marshal Narváez</a>, the Espadón ("Big Sword") of Loja, the so-called "<a href="/facts/Moderate_decade/MPdI6SGD">Moderate decade</a>" began in 1844. The constitutional reforms devised by Narváez moved away from the 1837 Constitution by rejecting national sovereignty and reinforcing the power of the monarch, to the point of a "co-sovereignty" between the Cortes and the Queen.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>

Main article: <a href="/facts/Affair_of_the_Spanish_Marriages/LI98yAYT">Affair of the Spanish Marriages</a>
On 10 October 1846, the Moderate Party made their sixteen-year-old queen marry her double-first cousin <a href="/facts/Francisco_de_As%25C3%25ADs%2c_Duke_of_C%25C3%25A1diz/lwvpbUqR">Francisco de Asís, Duke of Cádiz</a> (1822–1902), the same day that her younger sister, <a href="/facts/Infanta_Luisa_Fernanda%2c_Duchess_of_Montpensier/u2DxSCoI">Infanta Luisa Fernanda</a>, married <a href="/facts/Antoine_d%2527Orl%25C3%25A9ans%2c_Duke_of_Montpensier/DafEILLD">Antoine d'Orléans, Duke of Montpensier</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> Disgusted by her marriage, Isabella reportedly commented later to one of her intimates: "what shall I tell you about a man whom I saw wearing more lace than I was wearing on our wedding night?"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a>
The marriages suited <a href="/facts/July_Monarchy/BERk9abz">France</a> and <a href="/facts/Louis_Philippe%2c_King_of_the_French/DMuYlVpC">Louis Philippe, King of the French</a>, who as a result bitterly quarrelled with Britain.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a> However, the marriages were not happy; persistent rumour had it that few if any of Isabella's children were fathered by her <a href="/facts/King_Consort/yNsG1KX7">King Consort</a>, rumoured to be a homosexual. The Carlist party asserted that the heir-apparent to the throne, who later became Alfonso XII, had been fathered by a captain of the guard, Enrique Puigmoltó y Mayans.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a>

In 1847, a major scandal took place when Isabella, age seventeen, publicly showed her love for <a href="/facts/Francisco_Serrano%2c_1st_Duke_of_la_Torre/E9k5Ljoz">General Serrano</a> and her willingness to divorce from her husband Francisco de Asís;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> though Narváez and Isabella's mother <a href="/facts/Maria_Christina_of_the_Two_Sicilies/zW4NqvMa">Maria Christina</a> solved the problem posed to the monarchical institution—Serrano was shifted away from the capital to the post of Captain General of Granada in 1848—,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> the deterioration of the public image of the queen increased from then on.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> Following the <a href="/facts/Revolutions_of_1848/swvWRgUF">near-revolution of 1848</a>, Narváez was authorised to rule as dictator to repress insurrectionary attempts up until 1849.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>
In late 1851, Isabella II gave birth to her first daughter and heir presumptive, who was baptised on 21 December as <a href="/facts/Infanta_Isabella%2c_Countess_of_Girgenti/FxmrupNm">María Isabel Francisca de Asís</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> Historians have attributed the Princess of Asturias' biological parenthood to <a href="/facts/Jos%25C3%25A9_Ruiz_de_Arana_y_Saavedra%2c_Duke_of_Baena/HTHXneJM">José Ruiz de Arana</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> <a href="/facts/Gentilhombres_de_c%25C3%25A1mara_con_ejercicio/suAK1ESk">Gentilhombre de cámara</a>.

On 2 February 1852, Isabella and the Royal Guard were caught by surprise while the Queen was leaving the Chapel of the <a href="/facts/Royal_Palace_of_Madrid/FyHUf3EM">Royal Palace</a> intending to go with her parade to the <a href="/facts/Basilica_of_Nuestra_Se%25C3%25B1ora_de_Atocha/gmjpzqXT">Basilica of Nuestra Señora de Atocha</a>: Martín Merino y Gómez [es], an ordained priest and liberal activist approached the queen giving the impression of wanting to deliver her a message,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> and stabbed her. The impact was reduced by the gold embroidery of her dress and by the <a href="/facts/Baleen/WEWk6WMc">baleen</a> stays of her <a href="/facts/Corset/8BFeaz42">corset</a>, and what was intended to be a stab wound to the chest only resulted in a minor incision at the right side of the belly.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a> Merino, quickly seized by the halberdiers of the Royal Guard (with help from the dukes of Osuna and Tamames, the Marquis of Alcañices and the Count of Pinohermoso),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a> was removed from sacerdocy and executed by <a href="/facts/Garrote/Nl8hAwsQ">garrote</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a>

Under the government of the <a href="/facts/Luis_Jos%25C3%25A9_Sartorius%2c_1st_Count_of_San_Luis/1HlHCqlg">Count of San Luis</a> (whose ascension to premiership had been solely founded on the support from the networks of the royal court),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> the system was in a critical state by June 1854.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> On 28 June 1854 a military <a href="/facts/Pronunciamiento/lxnIIapl">pronunciamiento</a> intending to force the queen to oust the government of the Count of San Luis, featuring <a href="/facts/Leopoldo_O%2527Donnell/ze6pGsqr">Leopoldo O'Donnell</a> (a "puritan" moderate), took place in <a href="/facts/Vic%25C3%25A1lvaro/16Qv5Lmg">Vicálvaro</a>, the so-called <a href="/facts/Vicalvarada/cP6uJHkI">Vicalvarada</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a> The military coup (rather dominated by the moderates themselves) had a mixed result and O'Donnell (advised by <a href="/facts/%25C3%2581ngel_Fern%25C3%25A1ndez_de_los_R%25C3%25ADos/HhJGzrv0">Ángel Fernández de los Ríos</a> and <a href="/facts/Antonio_C%25C3%25A1novas_del_Castillo/XjEa7F0F">Antonio Cánovas del Castillo</a>) proceeded then to seek for civilian support, promising new reforms not in the initial plans in order to appeal to progressives, by bringing a "liberal regeneration", as proclaimed in the <a href="/facts/Manifesto_of_Manzanares/SwhjVoyx">Manifesto of Manzanares</a>, drafted by Antonio Cánovas del Castillo and issued on 7 July 1854.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a>
Days later, the situation was followed by a full-scale people's revolution, with revolutionary juntas organised on 17 July in Madrid,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a> and barricades erected in the streets. With the prospect of a civil war on the horizon, Isabella was advised to appoint General Espartero (who enjoyed charisma and popular support) as prime minister.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> This renewed ascension of Espartero marked the beginning of the bienio progresista.

<h3>Progressive biennium</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Bienio_progresista/cP6uJHkI">Bienio progresista</a>
Espartero entered the capital of Spain on 28 July,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a> and proceeded to separate again Isabella from the influence of María Christina.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a> In any case, though Isabella accepted advice from María Christina, she was not characterised for displaying a profound filial love towards her mother.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a>
By virtue of a royal decree, the port of <a href="/facts/Iloilo_City/kq04jWtw">Iloílo</a> in then-<a href="/facts/Captaincy_General_of_the_Philippines/9wJ8JYPU">Spanish Philippines</a> was opened to world trade on 29 September 1855, mainly to export sugar and other products to America, Australia and Europe.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a>
A <a href="/facts/Spanish_Draft_Constitution_of_1856/8X5VUDln">Liberal Constitution</a> ("the Unborn One") was drafted in 1856, yet it was never enacted as the counter-revolutionary coup by O'Donnell seized power.

<h3>Later reign</h3>

On 28 November 1857, Isabella II gave birth to a male heir,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a> who was baptised on 7 December 1857 as <a href="/facts/Alfonso_XII_of_Spain/ohLGDClr">Alfonso Francisco de Asís Fernando Pío Juan María Gregorio y Pelagio</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> Assumed by historians to be the biological son of Enrique Puigmoltó y Mayans [es],<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a> the toddler, who replaced infanta Isabella as <a href="/facts/Prince_of_Asturias/kyeNCtQ0">Prince of Asturias</a> upon his birth, was known under the moniker el Puigmoltejo, in reference to the rumours about his presumed biological parenthood.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> Isabella II showed a special affection for the child, greater than that shown to her daughters.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a>
The later part of her reign saw a <a href="/facts/Hispano%25E2%2580%2593Moroccan_War_(1859%25E2%2580%25931860)/W8ccum1k">war against Morocco</a> (1859–1860), which ended in a treaty advantageous for Spain and cession of some Moroccan territory, the <a href="/facts/Spanish_occupation_of_the_Dominican_Republic/fwfbm1kg">Spanish retaking of Santo Domingo</a> (1861–1865), and the fruitless <a href="/facts/Chincha_Islands_War/Dg9YbyQH">Chincha Islands War</a> (1865–1866) against <a href="/facts/Bolivia/YNBoDKKR">Bolivia</a>, <a href="/facts/Chile/uEyTfEcx">Chile</a>, <a href="/facts/Ecuador/Tdv7czY4">Ecuador</a>, and <a href="/facts/Peru/dBt7XrYD">Peru</a>.

<h4>Revolution and coup</h4>
In August 1866, exiled forces comprising both elements from the <a href="/facts/Democratic_Party_(Spain)/dJqmD73V">Democratic</a> and the <a href="/facts/Progressive_Party_(Spain)/vrxUMEuT">Progressive Party</a> met secretly in Belgium and subscribed to the <a href="/facts/Pact_of_Ostend/zoKBYU8H">Pact of Ostend</a> under the initiative of <a href="/facts/Juan_Prim/a3Yqaa5B">Marshal Prim</a>, seeking to topple Isabella.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a> On 7 July 1868, Isabella banished her sister and brother-in-law from Spain, as they were linked to a conspiracy against the Crown in connivance with generals from the <a href="/facts/Liberal_Union_(Spain)/bgHvb86K">Liberal Union</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a>
Since the late summer, Isabella II had been enjoying her traditional holiday on the coast at <a href="/facts/Lekeitio/om3pyhza">Lekeitio</a>, Biscay.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> The royal entourage moved to <a href="/facts/San_Sebasti%25C3%25A1n/GpFwcJoE">San Sebastián</a> to hold a meeting with <a href="/facts/Napoleon_III/F29546rc">Napoleon III</a> and <a href="/facts/Eugenia_de_Montijo/rCyu5E4k">Eugenia de Montijo</a>, scheduled for 18 September, but it did not take place, as the French royals did not arrive in time and it was subsequently aborted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a>
On that day, a <a href="/facts/Pronunciamento/lxnIIapl">pronunciamento</a> took place in <a href="/facts/C%25C3%25A1diz/nNUXQKlv">Cádiz</a>. Led by Marshal Prim and the <a href="/facts/Juan_Bautista_Topete/WameWcfS">Admiral Topete</a> (himself an unconditional follower of the Duke of Montpensier),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a> it marked the beginning of the <a href="/facts/Glorious_Revolution_(Spain)/VLrgPUWu">Glorious Revolution</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> The Democratic Party provided the insurrection with popular support, making it transcend the nature of a simple military statement into an actual revolution.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a>
Factors for the revolution included the weariness of the moderates alienated by the Crown and the progressives barely having even the chance to rule. Both developed a vis-à-vis with the Isabelline monarchy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a> Other factors were the personal behaviour of the queen, the corruption, the abortion of the possibility of political reform and the economic crisis alienating the <a href="/facts/Bourgeoisie/Ho3RUrlA">bourgeoisie</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> Historians looking at social roots for the revolution highlight that <a href="/facts/Peasant/LpXfJ1HH">peasantry</a>, <a href="/facts/Petite_bourgeoisie/gCsNpH9Y">small bourgeoisie</a>, and the <a href="/facts/Proletariat/pekPRsQd">proletariat</a> formed an alternative to bourgeoisie proper, articulated through the progressive and federal republican forces.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a>

By September 1868 Isabella was a repudiated monarch, and, during the early stages of the revolution, instances of political <a href="/facts/Iconoclasm/wHLUL1Kk">iconoclasm</a> carried out by the masses took place, leading to the destruction of many symbols and emblems of the Bourbon dynasty, a <a href="/facts/Damnatio_memoriae/Y94fVfyk">Damnatio memoriae</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a>
The defeat of the Isabelline forces commanded by <a href="/facts/Manuel_Pav%25C3%25ADa_y_Lacy/5RVlmzmY">Manuel Pavía y Lacy</a> by the revolutionary forces led by <a href="/facts/Marshal_Serrano/E9k5Ljoz">Marshal Serrano</a> at the 28 September 1868 <a href="/facts/Battle_of_Alcolea_(1868)/PGaqQH8X">Battle of Alcolea</a> led to the definitive demise of Isabella II's 35-year reign. In the light of the news, Isabella and her entourage left San Sebastián and went to exile taking a train to <a href="/facts/Biarritz/8dUIxMY9">Biarritz</a> (France) on 30 September.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a> As Isabella entered France after her abdication, her train passed a group of homecoming exiles who taunted her with cries of "Down with the Bourbons!", "Long Live Liberty!" and "Long Live the Republic!".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a>
Prim—leader of the liberal progressives—was received in a festive mood by the Madrilenian people at his arrival in the capital in early October. He pronounced his famous speech of the "three nevers" directed against the Bourbons.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a> At the <a href="/facts/Puerta_del_Sol/LaCCpeQ3">Puerta del Sol</a>, he gave a highly symbolic hug to Serrano, the leader of the revolutionary forces triumphant in the bridge of Alcolea.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a>

<h2 id="life-after-ousting">Life after ousting</h2>
Following the crossing of the <a href="/facts/French%25E2%2580%2593Spanish_border/lX6xfkaC">French–Spanish border</a> by train on 30 September, the Queen and King spent 5 weeks in the <a href="/facts/Ch%25C3%25A2teau_de_Pau/2AUmXH7k">Château de Pau</a> organising their Parisian future. They went to the French capital and arrived on 8 November, settling in the <a href="/facts/Rue_de_Rivoli/AtqEYu9d">Rue de Rivoli</a> 172.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a> Isabella was forced to renounce to her dynastic rights in Paris in favour of her son <a href="/facts/Alfonso_XII_of_Spain/ohLGDClr">Alfonso</a> on 25 June 1870, officially "freely and spontaneously".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a> Involving an economic settling, the formal separation between Isabella and Francisco had pended on the passing of the former queen's dynastic rights to her son.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a>

Following the election to the Spanish throne of <a href="/facts/Amadeo_I_of_Spain/F7EwQp5P">Amadeo of Savoy</a> (second son of <a href="/facts/Victor_Emmanuel_II_of_Italy/t3PbhgCp">Victor Emmanuel II of Italy</a>) in November 1870, Isabella reconciled in 1871 with her brother-in-law, the Duke of Montpensier, who assumed the political management of the family.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a>
The <a href="/facts/First_Spanish_Republic/uXJkhK1X">First Spanish Republic</a> that followed Amadeo's short reign was overthrown by a military coup started in <a href="/facts/Sagunto/9126XXXH">Sagunto</a> by General <a href="/facts/Arsenio_Mart%25C3%25ADnez_Campos/h84aFxnB">Arsenio Martínez Campos</a> on 29 December 1874 that proclaimed the restoration of the monarchy and the <a href="/facts/Bourbon_dynasty/U3gm1qqs">Bourbon dynasty</a> in the person of Isabella's son Alfonso XII,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a> who landed in Barcelona on 9 January 1875.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a>
After 1875 she lived in a relationship with <a href="/facts/Marqu%25C3%25A9s_de_Alta_Villa/3oHjNbkm">Ramiro de la Puente y González Nandín</a>, her secretary and chief of staff.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a>
Cánovas del Castillo, the dominant figure of the new regime, became convinced that the figure of Isabella had become an issue for the Crown and wrote her a letter bluntly stating "Your Majesty is not a person, it is a reign, it is a historical time, and what the country needs is another reign, a different time", hellbent on avoiding the former queen stepping onto the Spanish capital before the proclamation of the <a href="/facts/Spanish_Constitution_of_1876/VYkb2olE">new constitution in June 1876</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a>

<li id="fn:9">Isabella and Francisco de Asís were rather caustically described by 1866 by an English contemporary thus:

… The Queen is large in stature, but rather what might be called bulky than stately. There is no dignity either in her face or figure, and the graces of majesty are altogether wanting. The countenance is cold and expressionless, with traces of an unchastened, unrefined, and impulsive character, and the indifference it betrays is not redeemed by any regularity or beauty of feature.

The King Consort is much smaller in figure than his royal two-thirds, and certainly is not a type that could be admired for its manly qualifications; but we have to remember that in Spain aristocratic birth is designated rather by a diminutive stature and sickly complexion than by those attributes of height, muscular power, open expression, and florid hue, which in England constitute the ideal of ‘race.’[7]

<li id="fn:77">After the 1907 work by Benito Pérez Galdós, La de los tristes destinos [es], part of the Episodios Nacionales. The use of the name in reference to Isabella II, however, dates back to 4 July 1865, when Antonio Aparisi Guijarro[63] took the nickname from a verse in Shakespeare's Richard III. Thus, in Act IV-Scene IV, Queen Margaret tells Queen Elizabeth:
Farewell, York’s wife, and queen of sad mischance: These English woes shall make me smile in France.
Aparisi Guijarro made a reference to Isabella II in such a predictive fashion during a parliamentary session discussing the recognition of the Kingdom of Italy.[64] <a href="/wiki/Benito_P%C3%A9rez_Gald%C3%B3s" target="_blank">/wiki/Benito_P%C3%A9rez_Gald%C3%B3s</a> <a href="#fnref:77" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></li>
