(also known as Infante Fernando of Bourbon and Braganza)
Fernando Maria Jose was a member of the Spanish Royal Family, and a supporter Carlist. He lived most of his life in exile with his father and brothers.
Fernando was born in Madrid, a son of Infante Don Carlos María Isidro and of his first wife, Infanta Maria Francisca of Portugal.
In 1833, Carlos, was exiled to Portugal, taking his family with him, including the young Fernando. In June 1834, Fernando moved with his family to England, where they lived at Gloucester Lodge, Old Brompton Road, and later at Alverstoke Old Rectory, Hampshire. It was in England, where a year later Fernando's mother, Infanta Maria Francisca, died. Her sons were in charge of their father and her older sister, Maria Teresa, Princess of Beira, who eventually married Carlos in 1838 during a brief stay of the family in Spain during the First Carlist War.
By decree of the Queen Regent, Carlos and his descendants ceased to legally hold the titles of Infantes of Spain in 1834. The gap between the two branches of the Bourbon family, Elizabethan and Carlist would never close. Thereafter, the infant Fernando lived under the shadow of his father, and after his brothers. He never married, and not was regarded as a pawn of marital politics of his family. Faithfully supported the cause of his father, but the failure of the Chartists in the First Carlist War and suffering poverty forced them to go wandering around Europe. The infant Fernando settled in the city of Trieste (in present Italy) with his family. There his father died in 1855.
In 1860, during a Carlist rising, he and his brother Infante Carlos Luis were taken prisoners at San Carlos de la Rápita. They were later liberated. In 1861, suddenly and unexpectedly, Fernando, his brother Carlos and his wife Carolina died, probably from typhus. The three are buried in Trieste, in the chapel of Saint Charles Borromeo in the cathedral.
