king of Spain, and of his See also:fourth wife, Maria See also:Christina, a Neapolitan See also:Bourbon, who became queen-See also:regent on 29th See also:September 1833, when her daughter, at the See also:age of three years, was proclaimed on the See also:death of the king. Queen Isabella succeeded to the See also:throne because Ferdinand VII. induced the See also:Cortes to assist him in setting aside the Salic See also:law, which the Bourbons had introduced since the beginning of the 18th See also:century, and to re-establish the older See also:succession law of Spain. The See also:brother of Ferdinand, See also:Don See also:Carlos, the first pretender, fought seven years, during the minority of Isabella, to dispute her See also:title, and her rights were only maintained through the gallant support of the See also:army, the Cortes and the Liberals and Progressists, who at the same See also:- TIME (0.

After the Carlist See also:war the queen-regent, Christina, resigned to make way for See also:Espartero, the most successful and most popular See also:general of the Isabelline armies, who only remained regent two years. He was turned out in 1843 by a military and See also:political pronunciamiento, led by Generals O'Donnell and See also:Narvaez, who formed a See also:cabinet, presided over by Joaquin Maria See also:Lopez, and this government induced the Cortes to declare Isabella of age at thirteen. Three years later the Moderado party or Castilian Conservatives made their queen marry, at sixteen, her See also:cousin, See also:Prince Francisco de See also:Assisi de Bourbon (1822--19o2), on the same See also:day (loth October 1846) on which her younger See also:sister married the See also:duke of See also:Montpensier. These marriages suited the views of See also:France and See also:- LOUIS

Louis Philippe, who nearly quarrelled in consequence with See also:Great See also:Britain; but both matches were anything but happy. Queen Isabella reigned from 1843 to r868, and that See also:period was one See also:long succession of See also:palace intrigues, back-stairs and ante-chamber influences, barrack conspiracies, military pronunciamientos to further the ends of the political parties—Moderados, who ruled from 1846 to 1854, Progressists from 1854 to 1856, See also:Union Liberal from 1856 to 1863; Moderados and Union Liberal quickly succeeding each other and keeping out the Progressists so steadily that the seeds were sown which budded into the revolution of 1868. Queen Isabella II. often interfered in politics in a wayward, unscrupulous manner that made her very unpopular. She showed most favour to her reactionary generals and statesmen, to the Church and religious orders, and was constantly the See also:tool of corrupt and profligate courtiers and favourites who gave her See also:court a deservedly See also:bad name. She went into See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile at the end of September 1868, after her Moderado generals had made a slight show of resistance that was crushed at the See also:battle of Alcolea by Marshals Serrano and See also:Prim. The only redeeming traits of Queen Isabella's reign were a war against See also:Morocco,which ended in an advantageous treaty and some cession of territory; some progress in public See also:works, especially See also:railways; a slight improvement in See also:commerce and See also:finance. Isabella was induced to abdicate in See also:Paris on 25th See also:June 187o in favour of her son, See also:Alphonso XII., and the cause of the restoration was thus much furthered. She had separated from her See also:husband in the previous See also:March. She continued to live in France after the restoration in 1874. On the occasion of one of her visits to Madrid during Alphonso XIL's reign she began to intrigue with, the
politicians of the See also:capital, and was peremptorily requested to go abroad again. She died on the loth of See also:April 1904.
