Prince Salvador of Iturbide-Huarte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

His Highness, Salvador de Iturbide y Huarte (1820-1856) was a prince of Mexico, and the eighth child (and third son) of Emperor Austin I (Agustín de Iturbide) and Empress Ana Maria Huarte. He was married in 1845 to Rosario of Marzan-Guisasola.

Salvador was the third in line to the throne, after his brother Ángel de Iturbide y Huarte and the oldest brother Agustín de Iturbide y Huarte. When Maximilian of Mexico was crowned Emperor he contacted the Iturbide family to ask for the adoption of two boys: His Highness, Agustín de Iturbide y Green and His Highness Salvador de Iturbide y de Marzán (son of Prince Salvador).

He was drowned in a boating accident on the Tepic River, 7 June 1856.
