María Cristina de Borbón

María Cristina rules as Regent of Spain for her five-year-old daughter Isabel, a role she inherited when Ferdinand VII died in 1833. A moderate, she has staked the crown on the constitutionalist cause against her brother-in-law's Carlist claim. However she is not a ruler and keeps a private life she does not discuss and leans harder than she'd admit on men like Istúriz to tell her what the Cortes will actually bear.
