Born in 1777, Luis was the son of
infante Luis de Bourbon and Teresa
de Vallabriga. He was only allowed
to use the last name and coat of
arms of his father after his
sister, the Countess of Chinchón,
married Manuel Godoy in 1797. As
Cardinal of Sevilla and shortly
thereafter Archbishop of Toledo, he
received the sash of Carlos III and
the Cross of the Saint-Esprit from
Carlos IV.
There are various replicas and
versions of this official portrait.
The original is at the Museum of
Sao Paulo in Brazil.
