His See also:father was the keeper of an " estanco " or See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")

According to one See also:account, he distinguished himself by stopping the runaway horses of her See also:carriage; according to another, he only picked up her See also:hand-kerchief; a third and scandalous explanation of his See also:fortune has been given. It is certain that the queen married him privately, very soon after the See also:death of her husband on the 29th of See also:September 1833. By See also:publishing her See also:marriage, Maria Christina would have forfeited the regency; but her relations with Munoz were perfectly well known.

grant a constitution, it was generally, though wrongly, believed that they over-came her reluctance by seizing Munoz, whom they called her " guapo," or See also:fancy See also:man, and threatening to shoot him. When in 184o the queen found her position intolerable and fled the See also:country, Munoz went with her and the marriage was published, and on the overthrow of See also:Espartero in 1843 the couple returned. In 1844 Queen See also:Isabella II., who was now declared to be of See also:age, gave her consent to her See also:mother's marriage, which was publicly performed.
