Infanta Maria Francisca of Braganza (Portuguese pronunciation:[mɐˈɾiɐfɾɐ̃ˈsiʃkɐ]; full name:Maria Francisca de Assis da Maternidade Xavier de Paula e de Alcântara Antónia Joaquina Gonzaga Carlota Mónica Senhorinha Sotera e Caia de Bourbon e Bragança; 22 April 1800 – 4 September 1834) was aPortuguese princess (Portuguese:infanta), daughter ofKingJohn VI of Portugal andCarlota Joaquina of Spain.
Maria was born inQueluz, Portugal, on 22 April 1800 as the daughter of KingJohn VI of Portugal. On 22 September 1816 in Madrid, she married her uncleInfante Carlos Maria Isidro of Spain, "Count of Molina". They had three sons:
In 1833, Maria Francisca, her husband and sons were exiled from Spain because they refused to recognizeIsabella II as heiress to the Spanish throne. They first went to Portugal and then toAlverstoke in Hampshire, England. While in Hampshire, Maria became ill and died on 4 September 1834.
A crowd of several thousand was known to have visited the village to pay their respects as her body lay at the rectory of St Mary's Gosport, where her funeral was held and a marble stone honours her memory.[1] Although initially interred in St Mary's Catholic Church Gosport, Maria Francisca's remains were later transferred toTrieste Cathedral in Italy, where the Carlist pretenders and their wives are buried.
Four years after her death, Carlos married Maria Francisca's sister,Maria Teresa, Princess of Beira.
