Biography
On 22 September 1816 in Madrid, she married her uncle Infante Carlos Maria Isidro of Spain. The couple had three children:
- Infante Carlos, Count of Montemolin (1818–1861)
- Juan, Count of Montizón (1822–1887)
- Fernando (1824–1861)
In 1833, Maria Francisca, her husband and children were exiled from Spain because they refused to recognize Isabella II as heiress to the Spanish throne. They went first to Portugal and then to England, where she died one year later. Four years after her death, Carlos remarried to her sister Maria Teresa, Princess of Beira.
Maria Francisca's remains were later transferred to Trieste Cathedral in Italy, where she rests next to her husband and children.
