Quick Summary

Francisco de Asís de Borbón was the duque de Cadiz and the husband of Queen Isabella II of Spain. Their marriage, which took place on October 10, 1846, was part of the complex "Affair of the Spanish Marriages" that involved political maneuvering between Spain and France.12

Isabella II's reign (1833-1868) was marked by political instability. Her marriage to Francisco de Asís was controversial, partly due to rumors about his virility and Isabella's own personal conduct, which contributed to the decline of monarchical prestige and ultimately led to her deposition in the Revolution of 1868.1
