Infanta Maria Isabel of Portugal, or of Braganza was a Portuguese infanta and Queen consort of Spain. She was the daughter of King John VI of Portugal (1767-1826) and his wife Carlota Joaquina de Borbón y Borbón, Princess of Spain (1775-1830).
She married her maternal uncle King Ferdinand VII of Spain (1784-1833) in 1816, whose first wife, Maria Antonietta of the Two Sicilies (1784-1806), had died two years before.
The marriage produced one daughter, the Infanta María Luisa Isabel, who was born on August 21st 1817; she died on January 9 1818 in Madrid; Maria Isabel was again pregnant soon after the birth of her firstborn, but the birth was a difficult one. The baby was in breech and the physicians soon found that the child had died. Maria Isabel stopped breathing soon thereafter and the doctors thought she was dead; when they started cutting her up to extract the dead fetus, she suddenly shouted in pain and collapsed on her bed, bleeding heavily.
She died on 29 November 1818 and was buried at the Escorial, having failed to provide her husband with an heir to the throne.
