On 22 December 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Ferdinand VII of Spain to Ferdinand VII. The result of the discussion was moved. |
this article needs a short summary at the top
also, the claim that Manuel Godoy was Queen Maria Luisa's lover is unsubstantiated. My recent reading in general overviews of the period suggests that this was actually a myth propagated by the opponents of Charles IV and Manuel Godoy. It would be helpful if this was phrased more objectively.
Cosmos666 has added a box which shows Alfonso's four grandparents and eight great-grandparents. This is certainly not usual for an encylopedia article (indeed, often not for a full-length book about the subject). I suggest removal. If not, what are the limits to this?

Obviously Ferdinand VII was not a pleasant person (that's quite an understatement) and I certainly don't intend to defend him. But even when describing the most despicable figures, Wikipedia has a NPOV policy which I'm inclined to think the current state of the article violates:
etc. I suppose most or all of this is taken from the 1911 Britannica, but, please!, this needs to be reworded at least. So I'm adding POV-check
at the top. --

Ferdinand VII of Spain (14 October 1784 – 29 September 1833) was King of Spain during the early- to mid-19th century. He reigned over the Spanish Kingdom in 1808 and again from 1813 until his death in 1833. This oil-on-canvas portrait of Ferdinand in his robes of state was painted by Francisco Goya in 1815, and is in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Painting credit: Francisco Goya |
Ferdinand_VII was reputed to have a massive penis, that caused problems with his wives, ability to procreate etc. worth a mention, or don't we do that to royalty (even if they are long gone). 86.214.233.173 ( talk) 02:47, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
