Carlos María Isidro de Borbon
Carlos María Isidro Benito de Borbón y Borbón-Parma , Count of Molina, (born March 29, 1788 in Aranjuez , † March 10, 1855 in Trieste ) was the second son of King Charles IV of Spain and founder of the Carlist line in the Bourbon line Succession to the throne in Spain and France.
Life
Carlos and his older brother, Ferdinand VII , had to renounce the succession to the throne on the orders of Napoleon in 1808 and shared Ferdinand's captivity at Valençay Castle until 1814 . In 1814 he returned to Madrid with Ferdinand VII. Since the latter remained childless, the next prospect of succession opened up to Carlos, and a party rallied around him which hoped that the prince, who was under the rule of the clergy , would restore Catholicism to its old glory and absolute kingship. It is therefore not without reason that after the restoration of the constitution in 1820 the prince was considered to be the head of all secret conspiracies and activities aimed at that end. The birth of Infanta Isabella (1830–1904) destroyed Carlos' prospect of succession to the throne, as the king had previously abolished the Lex Salica , which stipulated only male succession. When Carlos protested against this provision, the king referred him first to Portugal , then to the Papal States .
Carlos, however, refused to obey and, after the death of Ferdinand VII on September 29, 1833 , was recognized as the rightful ruler (Carlos V) by his party, which from now on was called the Carlist . The Queen-Regent María Cristina of Sicily therefore declared him a rebel on October 16, and Carlos, who rejected all proposals for settlement, went to England in June 1834, but returned secretly to the fatherland the following month and ignited a bloody one Civil War, the First Carlist War, which was fought with alternating luck until Carlos finally sought refuge on French soil in 1839, where he was given the Hotel de Panette in Bourges as his place of residence and has since lived in semi-captivity. It was not until May 18, 1845 that he renounced the throne in favor of his eldest son Carlos Luis . He lived in Trieste under the name of a Count of Molina from 1847 , where he died on March 10, 1855.
Carlos was buried in a side chapel of the Cathedral of San Giusto in Trieste.
