Agustín Fernando Muñoz, 1st Duke of Riánsares

When on 13 August 1836 the soldiers on duty at the summer palace La Granja mutinied and forced the regent to grant a constitution, it was generally, though wrongly, believed that they overcame her reluctance by seizing Muñoz, whom they called her guapo, or fancy man, and threatening to shoot him.

Muñoz died in 1873, five years before his wife, at his home, Villa Mon Désir in Sainte-Adresse, near Le Havre, in France.
