Biography
Prince Salvador was two years old when he was created Príncipe de México (Prince of Mexico) and styled Highness by the Mexican Congress. He had nine brothers and sisters; Prince Imperial Agustín Jerónimo, Princess Sabina, Princess Juana, Princess Josefa, Prince Ángel, Princess María, Princess Dolores, Prince Felipe, and Prince Agustín Cosme.
He was educated at Collège Sainte-Barbe, Paris, France, and in Vienna, Austria.
Salvador was the third in line to the throne, after his brother Ángel de Iturbide y Huarte. When Maximilian I 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, son of Ángel, and His Highness Salvador de Iturbide y Marzán, son of Salvador.
He was drowned in a boating accident on the Tepic River, Nayarit, on 7 June 1856.
