I just read the biography of Empress Isabel II of Spain, an empress of great significance in the history of Spain, but also a king with a very bad ending. Although he died a good death in the end, he ended up depressed.
From the time of her succession to her death, Isabel experienced constant power struggles, coups, and conspiracies, but Isabel was a corrupt king herself. Isabel II succeeded to the throne when she was only three years old. Because of her young age, she was regent by her mother. Later, in the power struggle, Isabel II's mother was exiled by the magnates, so Isabel became the focus of the power struggle of various forces at that time, and even the marriage was not autonomous.
After the pro-government Isabel II, the control of power was very strong, and the cabinet of the government was removed whenever it was not satisfied. Probably because of marital dissatisfaction, and then with the right to be a king, Isabel II was very promiscuous, and in Spain at that time, Isabel II was the source of national corruption. Because the people's lives could not be improved, the Spanish Revolution broke out. During this revolution, Isabel was forced into exile in France. Later, although the dynasty was restored, his son Alfonso successfully returned to Spain to become king, but Isabel was driven out of Madrid by the Spaniards and finally died of depression in Paris, France, at the age of 74.
