Antonio Pascual de Borbón y Wettin (Caserta, December 31 1755 - El Escorial, April 20 1817), was an infante of Spain, son of King Charles III of Spain and younger brother of King Charles IV of Spain and Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies.
Born Antonio Pascual Francisco Javier Juan Nepomuceno Aniello Raimundo Silvestre de Borbón y Sajonia, this good-hearted infante was one of the most intelligent and hard-working sons of King Charles III, together with Infante Gabriel of Spain. He was a humanist devoted to arts. He bore a striking resemblance to his elder brother Charles IV.
Aged 40, he married on August 25 1795, María Amalia de Borbón (1779-1798), 16-year-old daughter of his brother Charles IV. She died 3 years later without leaving any children.
He supported his nephew prince Ferdinand, and profoundly disliked Manuel Godoy.
He headed the Junta Suprema de Gobierno, in the absence of his brother and nephew, when they tried to humor Napoleon in Bayonne.
During the Peninsular War he lived with the rest of the Royal Family under home arrest in Valençay. After the war he served in several high functions. He was a fervent supporter of absolutism, organizing support for the restoration of the absolute monarchy.
The generations indicate descent from Carlos I, under whom the crowns of Castile and Aragon were united, forming the Kingdom of Spain. Previously, the title Infante had been largely used in the different realms. | |
