ReplyDeleteFernando VII was born on the 10th of October 1784 (El Escorial) and died in Madrid 1833 on the 29th of November.
He was the ninth of fourteen sons of Maria Luisa de Parma and Carlos IV.
When he was young, he got poor health and suffered from several illnesses. Also, during adulthood, he suffered from attacks of gout.
At the short age of eighteen, he married Maria Antonia de Borbón.
His first period of reign only lasted one month, from March 19 to mid-April 1808.
On March 24th, 1808, Fernando VII moved to Madrid, where he received a warm popular reception and was, for the second time, acclaimed king.
Furthermore, he took part in several agreements, such as the Valençay's treaty, but he did also refused to sign the constitution. In addition, on the 4th of May 1814, the monarch signed a document that abolished the Constitution and the Cortes of Cádiz.
A few years later, in 1820, he decided to accept to sign the constitution. This period was called "Trienio Liberal."
After 2 years, he leads a coup d'etat in which Luis XVIII from France took part in sending to Spain an army called Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis.
There were many revolts that led to a new period called Ominous Decade on November 13th, 1823.
In 1829, his third wife died. That same year, the monarch got remarried with his cousin María Cristina de Borbón. The 10th Dcember of 1830, María Cristina gave birth to a girl, future queen Isabel II.
Moreover, when Fernando died in 1833, Maria Cristina remained as regent of the kingdom during the minority of her daughter Isabel II, who was then 3 years old.
Fernando VII was the 19th-century king of Spain and is known for his controversial reign. A curious fact is that his rule was marked by the alternation between liberal and absolutist periods, causing political instability in the country. Furthermore, Fernando VII was nicknamed "El Deseado" due to the anticipation of stability upon his return to the throne after the Napoleonic invasion.
