Two marriages which took place in 1846, the one between the Queen of Spain and the Duke of Cadiz, the other between the Infanta and the Duke of Montpensier. These marriages had been the subject of much diplomatic action between the courts of England and Spain, and that of Louis Philippe, King of the French, who desired that the husband of the Spanish queen should be a Bourbon, while the English Government urged that he should be a prince of Coburg.
