The descendants of Infante Francisco de Paula of Spain

[cimbrio]

Queen Isabel II's sister-in-law and namesake, Isabel (1821-1897), who became Countess Gurovsky upon marriage.

[cimbrio]

Isabel II's husband, Francisco de Asís de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias, who was Isabel's first cousin on both sides, since their fathers were brothers and their mothers were sisters, and both men were the women's uncles, which explains Alfonso XII's supposed inbreeding.

[cimbrio]

Isabel II's sister-in-law, Infanta Amalia (1834-1905), who became Princess of Bavaria. Her son married her niece Paz, Isabel II's daughter.

Francisco's sisters were:

María Isabel (1821-1897)
Luisa Teresa (1824-1900)
María Josefa (1827-1910)
María Teresa (1828-1829)
María Cristina (1833-1902)
María Amalia (1834-1905)

I must have a photo of Pilar somewhere, I'll look it up!

[Eurohistory]

And their husbands:

María Isabel (1821-1897) = Count Ignaz Gurowski
Luisa Teresa (1824-1900)  = José María Osorio de Moscoso, Duke of Sessa
María Josefa (1827-1910) = José Güell y Renté
María Teresa (1828-1829)
María Cristina (1833-1902) = Infante don Sebastián
María Amalia (1834-1905) = Adalbert of Bavaria

I hope this contributes something...

Infanta María Josefa (1827-1910) married morganatically a journalist from Cuba called José Güell y Renté.

Thanks umigon!
I read on Josefa and her "romance" in "Secrets of the Gotha" by Diesbach. Definitely that man from Cuba was too ambitious.

[umigon]

Yes, and she was certainly a tragic figure!! She ended her life in Paris, in the company of suprisingly young gigolós who received nearly all the money she had left...

HRH Infante Don Fernando Maria Mariano de Borbon (1832-1854) was King Francisco I's youngest brother.
How did he die? why?
Has someone informations about his short life?

[umigon]

I know nothing about him, but I remember reading somewhere that he died of tuberculosis.

Great !

I think that both the infantas look like to their elder brother Francisco (I remember a picture posted here) There's something in the eyes
I wonder what their brother Enrique looked like. They had a brother Fernando who sadly died quite young
I read that Enrique was named after his godfather the Duke of Bordeaux (Henri V) who was only 3 years old at Enrique's birth... How could it be??
Was Infante Pepita named after queen Josefa ? what about Luisa?
I wonder what became Pepiita & Luisa's sons : jobs, awards, where they lived. Are there pictures of them?

Francisco de Paula's elder daughter Isabel Fernanda (1821-1897) got eloped with the Polish count Ignaz Gurowski from the convent where she was... Gurowski married her in Dover (England) in 1841. He fathered.... eight children, then he left his wife. The poor countess Gurowska died in a complete destitution in Paris. (Buried Montmartre cemetery). Her only surviving son, Fernando, was an cavalry colonel in Don Carlos VII. He was killed in 1875...

Isabel was named Belita by her family -and all the members of the family were shocked when she got eloped with Ignaz. At certain point of the history, they were settled in Brussels, where Belita received some help from the good queen Louise, wife of Leopold I. Later, poor Belita found herself alone and without a penny. She was dead after a long illness, as a hostess in a very humble hotel of Paris. The owner of the hotel adressed a letter to queen regnant María Cristina, explaining the deceased infanta has been unable to pay the bill during a few months. Obviously, the man hoped María Cristina would pay to avoid a scandal. But María Cristina adressed the same letter, with the bill, to Francisco de Asis. I don´t know if Francisco de Asis gave the money or not...
