Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Empress Eugenie, Vol. 1 I mention these facts to show that Napoleon III did not marry "beneath him" as some of his unreasonable critics have said. Some very foolish and groundless statements have been made to this effect. I simply wish to controvert them. The family of Porto-Carrero, Counts of Montijo, includes the Cardinal of that name, who played a part during the reign of Charles II of Austria and descends in direct line from the ancient patrician family that in 1339 gave the city of Genoa its first Doge. Dona Maria Francisca de Porto Carrero, Countess of Montijo, writer of repute, who was prosecuted on the charge of turning her house into a Jansenist meeting place, was one of the Empress ancestors and lived in the beginning of the 19th century. She was the correspondent of the Marquise de Lage de Volude, former lady in waiting to the Princesse de Lamballe, and at one time, during the Reign of Terror, was a refugee in Spain. Sovereigns, statesmen, soldiers, churchmen, are consequently found among the Empress ancestors. And perhaps I may, in passing, add here that her sister married the Duke of Alba and Berwick, who was lineally descended from James II, king of England. Her father, Don Cipriano Guzman Palafox y Porto-Carrero, Count of Teba, was the youngest brother of Eugenio, Count of Montijo, who, in the beginning of the last century, was associated with, every liberal and even revolutionary movement in Spain.
