Maria Teresa Burbon
Maria Teresa of Bourbon, Countess of Chinchon was the daughter of the Infante Louis Anthony of Bourbon, the younger brother of Charles III of Spain, exiled from the court, for concluding a morganatic marriage with Aragonese aristocrat María Teresa de Vallabriga. After the death of her father sent her to a convent, where she lived in the years 1785-1797. In 1797, Queen Marie Louise arranged her marriage with his favorite Manuel Godoy, in order to raise his aristocratic status. The relationship with Godoy allowed her family to recover numerous privileges, lost by marrying the father of the aristocracy without royal origin, such as the use of name and coat of arms of the Bourbons. The Countess became a full member of the royal family and the most important lady in the country after the Queen Mary Louise. After the fall of Godoy in 1808, she was in Spain until the end of the Peninsular War. After the return of Ferdinand VII of Spain and the restoration of absolute monarchy moved to France.Ferrán Aribau,
