Isabella II was a very famous ruler of Spain. She was in reign from 29 September 1833–30 September 1868. I know that she had 12 children and only 4 survived to adulthood but I am interested in knowing who her kids were.

  1. Infanta doña María Isabel, also known as La chata, Princess of Asturias (1851–1931), was twice the recognized first heir to the throne of Spain. She was invariantly called "Princesa" in Spain, as the eldest daughter and a holder or formerholder of Asturias, her younger sisters being more usually called with the prefix "Infanta". She was born as the eldest surviving child of the then-reigning Queen Isabel II of Spain, from her marriage with her first cousin and king consort, Francis of Spain.

    Alfonso XII (November 28, 1857–November 25, 1885) was king of Spain, reigning from 1875 to 1885, after a coup d'état restored the monarchy and ended the ephemeral First Spanish Republic. Alfonso was the son of Isabella II of Spain, and allegedly, Francis of Assisi de Borbon, her King Consort. His true biological paternity is uncertain, though his legal paternity is not: his mother was married to her (presumed homosexual) cousin Francis of Assisi de Borbon, the King Consort of Spain, at the time of Alfonso's conception and birth. Some theories suggest that Alfonso's biological father might have been either Enrique Puigmoltó y Mayans, captain of the Royal Guard, or General Francisco Serrano.

    María de la Paz de Borbón y Borbón (María de la Paz Juana Amelia Adalberta Francisca de Paula Juana Bautista Isabel Francisca de Asis) (Madrid, June 23, 1862– - Schloss Nymphenburg, Münich, December 4, 1946) was an infanta of Spain. She was born in the Royal Palace of Madrid and was the second daughter of Queen Isabel II and her husband Francis of Spain, although her paternity remains unclear, as does that of her other siblings.

    Infanta Eulalia of Spain (12 February 1864 - 8 March 1958) was a Spanish princess known for her controversial books. Eulalia was born in the Royal Palace of Madrid, the youngest child of Queen Isabella II of Spain and of her husband, Francis of Spain. She was baptised on 14 February 1864 with the names Maria Eulalia Francisca de Asis Margarita Roberta Isabel Francisca de Paula Cristina Maria de la Piedad. Her godfather was Duke Robert I of Parma, while her godmother was his sister Princess Margherita of Parma. In 1868 Eulalia and her family were forced to leave Spain by the revolution. They lived in Paris where Eulalia was educated. She received her first communion in Rome from Pope Pius IX. In 1874 Eulalia's brother King Alfonso XII was restored to the throne in place of their mother Queen Isabella II. Three years later Eulalia returned to Spain. She lived at first in El Escorial with her mother, but later moved to the Alcázar of Seville and then to Madrid.
