María Cristina

Fernando VII is a kind of jester who is dedicated to eating and visiting brothels. He is looking for a woman who amuses him and who especially gives him a male child, since his brother Carlos María Isidro and his wife María Francisca intrigue to stay on the throne after his death. At court is also Luisa Carlota, sister of María Cristina, who is married to the youngest of the brothers, Francisco, and who is the promoter of this marriage with the young Neapolitan woman. María Cristina thus travels to Aranjuez to occupy the throne with Fernando VII. During the trip she reads the letters that her fiancé sends her, which look like those of a child. You still don't know that you're getting into an extremely complicated country. Whoever says that governments run by women are much more peaceful is wrong. María Cristina, the last woman of Fernando VII, was perhaps the queen with the greatest vocation for power that Spain has had. Her presence did not go unnoticed. She was loved and hated in the same way by everyone who knew her. He conspired and stole, went into exile twice, and there was no lucrative business that she did not attempt to control. She clung to power with an iron fist, even from afar. And when they finally allowed her to return to Spain, they did so on the condition that she did not establish her residence on the peninsula. This narrated biography recreates for the first time the hectic life of a woman who ruled in contravention of the image of a pious, honest, and submissive queen.
