KATHERINA MICHAELA, INFANTA
OF SPAIN (1567-1597)
Born: 10 OCT 1567 Madrid, SPAIN
Died: 6 NOV 1597 Torino
Married: 3 NOV 1585, Saragossa
Carlo Emanuel I, Duke de Savoy
Born: 12 JAN 1562 Rivoli
Died: 26 JUL 1630 Savigliano
Younger daughter of Philip II of Spain and his third wife, Elizabeth
Valois, Catalina resembled her pretty French mother more than her Habsburg
father. Being the younger, and less important of the two Infantas,
she was not kept waiting for a splendid marriage, but made a love match
with Carlos Emanuele, Duke of Savoy, but died young.
