Mariana Victoria was born at theRoyal Palace of Queluz, nearLisbon. She was named after her maternal grandmother,Mariana Victoria of Spain, a daughter ofPhilip V of Spain.

Her grandmother Mariana went to Spain in 1777 to discuss an alliance with her brotherCharles III of Spain. While there, she helped to bring about the marriage of Mariana Victoria and the Spanish king's younger son,Infante Gabriel, her mother's first cousin. They married by proxy on 12 April 1785 at the Ducal Palace ofVila Viçosa. The couple met for the first time at theRoyal Palace of Aranjuez on 23 May and had another nuptial ceremony.

The royal couple had three children, of whom two died young. At the birth of her last child, Infante Carlos, she and her husband were in residence at Gabriel's private residence, theCasita del Infante at El Escorial. While there, Gabriel caught smallpox and died at the Casita aged only 36. His wife also succumbed to the illness and died on 2 November; Infante Carlos himself died a week after his mother.

Upon her early death, her sonPedro was recognized by his Portuguese grandmother as aninfante of Portugal, in addition to his Spanishinfantizado from their paternal side. The same status was accorded Pedro's only sonSebastian of Portugal and Spain.

Mariana died in theCasita del Infante at the age of 19. She and her husband were the founders of theHouse of Bourbon-Braganza which subsequently joined the Spanish nobility as dukes of Marchena, Durcal, Hernani and Ansola.

Mariana Victoria was buried at theRoyal Monastery of El Escorial with her husband and her two young children.
