[edit] Marriage and issue
Ferdinand married Infanta Maria Teresa of Spain, second eldest child and daughter[1][2] of Alfonso XII of Spain and his second wife Maria Christina of Austria[1][2], on 12 January 1906 in Madrid.[1][2] Ferdinand and Maria Teresa had four children:[1][2]
- Infante Luís Alfonso of Spain (6 December 1906 - 14 May 1983)
- Infante José Eugenio of Spain (26 March 1909 - 16 August 1966)
- Infanta Maria de las Mercedes of Spain (3 October 1911 - 11 September 1953)
- Infanta Maria del Pilar of Spain (15 September 1912 - 9 May 1918)
This marriage and the granted royal rank in Spain meant that Ferdinand (also known as Infante don Fernando Maria de Baviera y de Borbon), the third-generation Spanish-Bavarian, committed himself to Spain. His second marriage with a Spanish noblewoman changed nothing in that respect.
Ferdinand married for a second time to Maria Luisa de Silva y Fernández de Henestrosa, Duquesa de Talavera de la Reina, daughter of Luis de Silva y Ferandez, 10th Conde de Pie de Concha and his wife Maria de los Dolores Fernandez de Henestrosa y Fernández de Córdoba, on 1 October 1914 in Fuenterrabía, Spain. Maria Luisa was also granted the title Infanta of Spain.
[edit] Later life
Ferdinand survived his mother by 12 years and his father by 9 years. He had Alfonso XIII of Spain as his first cousin and brother-in-law and Prince Carlos of Bourbon-Two Sicilies as another brother-in-law. Spanish claimants Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia and Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona were his nephews.
