Ferdinand VI, King of Spain between 1746 and 1759, was a monarch who gave Spain a long period of peace, justice and progress. Being a sickly King, he found in his wife, Barbara de Braganza, support and love to maintain a proper balance in his health thus allowing such advances for Spain. After his loveless childhood, he found in his wife the love of a mother that he had never had, the warmth of a wife and the discretion and common sense of a great Queen. The death of Doña Bárbara led the King to a year of pain and mental alterations that ended his life, bringing him to the encounter with his beloved, what he most longed for.
