 | | Isabella II (1830-1904), queen of Spain, was born in Madrid on October 10 1830. |
 | | She was the eldest daughter of Ferdinand VII, king of Spain, and of his fourth wife, Maria Christina, a Neapolitan Bourbon, who became queen-regent on September 29, 1833, when her daughter, at the age of three years, was proclaimed on the death of the king. |
 | | Queen Isabella succeeded to the throne because Ferdinand VII induced the Cortes to assist him in setting aside the Salic law, which the Bourbons had introduced since the beginning of the 18th century, and to re-establish the older succession law of Spain. |
