Maria Francisca of Savoy

Months after her annulment, Maria Francisca married the Infante Peter, now the Prince Regent of Portugal. In 1669 she gave birth to a daughter, Isabel Luísa Josefa of Portugal, Princess of Beira. The Braganza dynasty was at the brink of extinction, and Peter needed heirs, yet Maria Francisca was unable to produce further issue.

On 1676, Infante Peter of Portugal would be forced to annul his marriage with Maria Francisca of Savoy and send her to a nunnery and contract a marriage with Marie Louis of Orleans to prevent the extinction of the Braganza and Spain having a union with Spain again and send Isabel of Beira to Charles II for her marriage with him, but the marriage between Charles II and Isabel of Beira would not last as Charles II would die on 1690, leaving her a rich widow.
