ALFONSO III, KING OF SPAIN
Image from NNDB web site
Born in 1886 in Madrid, died 1941 and buried in El Escorial, also in Madrid, this lothario who reigned from 1886 (with his mother in charge) until his abdication in 1931, was called unstable - depressed - immature but maybe he was one more Royal in an arranged marriage trying to do his duty but also finding some happiness. Was the last arranged marriage for a European Royal that of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer?
