Infante Enrique, Duke of Seville ((スペイン語:Infante Enrique María Fernando Carlos Francisco Luis de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias, Duque de Sevilla); 17 April 182312 March 1870) was a member of the House of Bourbon, Spanish Infante and Duke of Seville, and the grandson of Charles IV of Spain. He was known for his progressive, even revolutionary ideas during the reign of his double first cousin and sister-in-law, Isabella II of Spain. ==Early life== Infante Enrique was born at Seville, Spain, fourth child and second son of Infante Francisco de Paula of Spain (1794–1865), (son of Charles IV of Spain and Princess Maria Luisa of Parma) and his wife, Princess Luisa Carlotta of Naples and Sicily (1804–1844), (daughter of Francis I of the Two Sicilies and Infanta María Isabella of Spain). Born in the Andalusian city of Seville, his uncle King Ferdinand VII granted him the title of Duke of Seville, also in 1820 when he conferred the title of Duke of Cádiz on his eldest brother Francisco de Asís and, after his death a year later, on Francis. Enrique was baptized with the name ''Enrique María Fernando Carlos Francisco Luís'' and his godparents were his maternal aunt, Princess Marie Caroline, Duchess of Berry, and her son, the Duke of Bordeaux, for whom he was named. In 1833, the death of his uncle, King Ferdinand VII, divided the court between supporters of Queen Isabella II, and their mutual uncle, Don Carlos. Enrique's aunt, Queen Maria Christina, the widow of Ferdinand VII, served as regent of Spain from 1833 to 1840. The second marriage of Maria Christina with Agustín Fernando Muñoz y Sánchez in 1833 caused a disagreement between her and her sister, Infanta Luisa Carlotta, resulting in the banishment of Luisa Carlota and her family to Paris, where the queen consort was her aunt. Enrique and his brothers were educated in the French capital. At the ''Lycée'' he met his cousin, Antoine, Duke of Montpensier, with whom he later developed an intense rivalry that would eventually end in tragedy. Enrique spent time in Belgium, where his cousin, Louise, was queen. There he learned of the expulsion from Spain in 1840 of Maria Christina and her husband. Finally able to return to Spain, Enrique soon began his military career in Ferrol, Galicia, where he was praised for his excellent conduct. In 1843 he was promoted to lieutenant, and was commander of the ship ''Manzanares''. By 1845 he was captain of a frigate. Although a possible marriage between Enrique and Isabella II was considered, she married Enrique's brother, Francis, Duke of Cádiz, who was Enrique's elder, but whose effeminacy had been construed as rendering him an unlikely father and therefore a less suitable marital candidate. At the same time the queen's younger sister, Infanta Luisa, was married to the Duke of Montpensier at the instigation of France. Openly offended at these setbacks, and accused of taking part in a revolt against the monarchy in Galicia, Enrique was expelled from Spain in March 1846, shortly before the wedding of his brother and the Queen. Don Enrique took refuge in Belgium, where his sister Isabel Fernandina was staying. At that time he was considered a candidate for the throne of Mexico, although there is little evidence that Enrique pursued that prospect with enthusiasm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Infante Enrique, Duke of Seville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
