Carlota of Mexico |
 | | Carlota of Mexico (also spelled Carlotta; sometimes rendered as Charlotte) (June 7, 1840 - January 19, 1927) was the wife of Maximilian of Mexico and was proclaimed Empress of Mexico in the 1860s, in a regime largely dependant on French troops in Mexico under orders of Napoleon III. |
 | | A daughter of Leopold I, King of the Belgians (1790-1865) and his second wife, Louise d'Orleans, Princess of France (1812-1850), Carlota of Mexico was born in Laeken, Belgium, as Princess Marie Charlotte Amélie Auguste Victoire Clémentine Léopoldine. |
 | | Carlota had no children with Maximilian, but in 1865, the imperial couple did adopt Agustin de Iturbide y Green, grandson of an earlier "Emperor of Mexico", Agustin I (Agustine de Iturbide y Aramburu), a constitutional monarch who reigned from 1822 until 1823. |
