EUGENIA DE MONTIJO: WOMAN AND REGENT. HIS POLITICAL ROLE SEEN BY THE SPANISH PRESS
Abstract
In 1853 she became Empress of the French by marriage. The social rise of the Spanish woman caused a flood of information in the Press extolling the benefits of the one chosen by Napoleon III. Her links with the Spanish aristocracy - her mother had tried to make her related to the Duke of Sesto - and the role of her sister Paca, Duchess of Alba, made Eugenia de Guzmán and Portocarrero a different candidate than many " marriages ”could have been suspected. She had no family in France to showcase honor and dignity, as the Emperor himself made clear when in 1853 he presented his fiancée to the official state corporations. A priori, her position could seem limited to the institutional role conferred by her new rank and reduced to tasks of a social or welfare nature, which she will also perform with solvency. However, the strategic-military circumstances of the Third French Empire, as well as the character of the protagonist, will lead the Empress Eugenia to occupy notable positions of political responsibility.
