Life
Childhood
Isabel Fernanda was born an infanta of Spain as a daughter of Infante Francisco de Paula and Princess Luisa Carlotta of the Two Sicilies. Once King Ferdinand VII of Spain died in 1833, his wife, Queen Maria Christina, the younger sister of Isabel’s mother Luisa, married discreetly to Agustín Fernando Muñoz y Sánchez—the reason behind the discreet behaviour of the marriage was due to the fact it was morganatic.[1][2] The marriage, once it was known, caused a great rift between Maria Christina and her sister Luisa Carlotta; expressed by the queen sending Luisa and her family abroad to Paris.[citation needed] Isabel was educated in a schoolhouse, in Paris.
Marriage and scandal
In 1841 Isabel created a scandal when she married morganatically her riding instructor, Polish Count Ignatius Gurowski (1814-1887), son of Count Wladyslaw Gurowski, Starost of Kolo (d. 1818) and Genoveva Cielecka.[citation needed] They settled in Brussels, Belgium. When her brother married Queen Isabella II of Spain in 1846, the Belgian aristocracy and court were obliged to allow her to attend court and social life. When the queen of Belgium died in 1850, her rank made her the first lady of the Belgian court[citation needed] and thereby gave her a sort of hostess role until she returned to Spain in 1854.
