Alfonso XII

Alfonso XII (1857-1885) was King of Spain from 1874 until his death. He is newsworthy in the context of recent articles that indirectly reference him. One article discusses a family history where an ancestor was Alfonso XII's podiatrist, highlighting a personal connection to the historical figure. The other article mentions Lhardy, a famous Madrid restaurant, which has a long history dating back over 180 years. Alfonso XII would have been a contemporary of the restaurant during its early years, suggesting a potential link to Madrid's historical and cultural landscape. While not the direct focus, Alfonso XII's name serves as a historical marker, grounding the narratives in a specific period of Spanish history and society.
