Carlos, Prince of Bourbon

(Carlos, Prince of Bourbon, 1788-1855)

Portrait of en:Infante Carlos María Isidro of Spain, by court painter en:Vicente López Portaña. Carlos was brother of en:Ferdinand VII of Spain, and his next in line in the Spanish en:Salic law of succession due to there being no direct male heir. However, when Ferdinand issued the en:Pragmatic Sanction of 1830, the succession then passed on to his daughter en:Isabella II of Spain as his first child (regardless of gender). This led to the en:Carlist Wars upon Ferdinand's death, a series of immensely bloody civil wars in Spain during the 19th century.

Don Carlos María Isidro Benito de Borbón y Borbón-Parma (29 March 1788 – 10 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. (From Wikipedia)
