Isabella II

 

Born Oct. 10, 1830, in Madrid; died Apr. 9, 1904, in Paris. Queen of Spain from 1833 to 1868. Daughter of Ferdinand VII.

Until Isabella II was proclaimed to be of age in 1843, Spain was ruled by regents. (Isabella IPs mother, María Cristina, ruled from 1833 to 1840, and General Espartero ruled from 1840 to 1843.) The period after 1843 was one of rule by a court clique, or camarilla. Isabella II fled to France on Sept. 30, 1868, with the beginning of the Spanish Revolution of 1868–74.
