Marriage


In Madrid on 25 August 1856 he married Infanta Amalia of Spain (1834–1905), sister of King-Consort Francis, Duke of Cádiz, sixth daughter and eleventh child of Infante Francisco de Paula of Spain (a younger son of King Charles IV of Spain) and Princess Luisa Carlotta of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. They had five children :




  • Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria (1859–1949); married Infanta María de la Paz of Spain.


  • Prince Alfons of Bavaria (1862–1933); married Princess Louise of Orléans, daughter of Prince Ferdinand, Duke of Alençon.


  • Princess Isabella of Bavaria (1863–1924); married Prince Thomas, Duke of Genoa.


  • Princess Elvira of Bavaria (1868–1943); married Count Rudolf von Wrbna-Kaunitz-Rietberg-Questenberg und Freudenthal.


  • Princess Clara of Bavaria (1874–1941); unmarried, 1109th Dame of the Order of Queen Maria Luisa.



Death


Prince Adalbert of Bavaria died on 21 September 1875 (the same day as his sister Alexandra) in Munich and is buried in the Colombarium in the Michaelskirche in Munich, Bavaria.



Greek succession


It is often suggested that following his older brother Otto's death, Prince Adalbert became the heir presumptive to the throne of Greece. In fact, rights to the Greek succession were passed onto his other older brother Luitpold, who technically succeeded to the Greek throne in 1867. Due to the renunciation of all the rights to the Greek succession by King Ludwig III, at Luitpold's death the rights to the throne of Greece were inherited by his second son, Prince Leopold.


However, if it is proven that all legitimate descendants of Luitpold (barring those through King Ludwig III) are indeed extinct (discounting also the male descendants of prince Georg of Bavaria), Adalbert's male-line descendants could conceivably assume the claim to the throne of Greece.

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy
