He was married in 1845 to Doña María del Rosario de Marzán y Guisasola. His descendants, through his son Salvador de Iturbide y de Marzán, are the current pretenders to the Mexican Throne.

Biography

Prince Salvador was two years old when he was created Príncipe de México (Prince of Mexico) and styled Highness by the Mexican Congress. He had nine brothers and sisters; Prince Imperial Agustín Jerónimo, Princess Sabina, Princess Juana, Princess Josefa, Prince Ángel, Princess María, Princess Dolores, Prince Felipe, and Prince Agustín Cosme.

He was educated at Collège Sainte-Barbe, Paris, France, and in Vienna, Austria.

Salvador was the third in line to the throne, after his brother Ángel de Iturbide y Huarte. When Maximilian I of Mexico was crowned emperor, he contacted the Iturbide family to ask for the adoption of two boys: His Highness, Agustín de Iturbide y Green, son of Ángel, and His Highness Salvador de Iturbide y Marzán, son of Salvador.

He was drowned in a boating accident on the Tepic River, Nayarit, on 7 June 1856.
