In 1863, the Second Mexican Empire was established, with Maximilian I of Mexico being proclaimed Emperor in 1864.[2] Maximilian, having no issue of his own, adopted as his heirs two of Agustín de Iturbide's grandsons: Agustín de Iturbide y Green and Salvador de Iturbide y de Marzán.[2][3] Upon the abolition of the Second Mexican Empire and the execution of Emperor Maximilian I in 1867, pretense to the Mexican Crown passed to the said adopted heirs.

The current pretender to the Mexican throne, in right of both the First and Second Empires, is Count Maximilian von Götzen-Iturbide, great-grandson of Salvador de Iturbide y de Marzán.[3][4][5]
