The House of Iturbide is the former Imperial House of Mexico. It was founded by Agustín de Iturbide in 1822 just after Mexico was declared an independent state.

History

After Mexico was declared and recognized as an independent state, Iturbide was backed and influenced by Mexico's conservadores who favored an independent Mexico with a monarch from one of the European royal families as head of state. When no European royals accepted Mexico's offer (as Spain still had hopes of taking Mexico back), Iturbide was persuaded by his advisers to be named "Emperor" in the manner of Napoleon I.
