 | | Isabella II (October 10, 1830 – April 10, 1904), Isabel II in Spanish, was queen of Spain ("Queen of the Spains" officially from August 13, 1836, hitherto the "queen of Castile, Leon, Aragon,...") |
 | | Isabella's rights were only maintained through the support of the army, the Cortes and the Liberals and Progressists, who at the same time established constitutional and parliamentary government, dissolved the religious orders, confiscated the property of the orders including the Jesuits, and attempted to restore order in finances. |
 | | Isabella was induced to abdicate in Paris on June 25, 1870 in favour of her son, Alfonso XII, and the cause of the restoration was thus much furthered. |
