Infante Carlos María Isidro of Spain
Infante of Spain (1788–1855) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, sometimes erroneously called Charles V of Spain.
Don Carlos María Isidro Benito de Borbón y Borbón-Parma (29 March 1788 – 6 March 1855) was an Infante of Spain and the second surviving son of King Charles IV of Spain and his wife, Maria Luisa of Parma. He claimed the throne of Spain after the death of his older brother King Ferdinand VII in 1833. His claim was contested by liberal forces loyal to the dead king's infant daughter, resulting in the First Carlist War (1833–1840). Don Carlos had support from the Basque provinces and much of Catalonia, but lost the war. His heirs continued the traditionalist cause, fought two more Carlist wars and were active into the mid-20th century, but never gained the throne.
