Margarita of Spain (25 May 1610 - 11 March 1617) was an infanta of Spain, who died in childhood.[1]
Life
Margarita was the seventh child of the marriage between Philip III and Margaret of Austria and the fourth of their daughters, after Ana, María and María Ana.[2]
She was born in
Duke of Lerma himself. In honor of this last godfather, she received Francisca as a middle name.[4][5] She was carried to the baptismal font by her baptismal godfather.[Note 1][6]
At the age of six she could already write and read the catechism. She was fond of pious practices.[7]
She died in the Royal Alcázar of Madrid at the age of 6 years.[1] She was taken with the usual pomp to the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.[8][9] She is buried in the ninth chamber of the Panteón of Infantes, under the following epitaph:[10]
Non moriar sed vivam et narrabo opera Domini (Sal 117, 17)
Notes
- ^ In Spanish royal baptisms, this honour of bringing the newborn to the baptismal font was second in importance only to the one of being godparent.
