Emperor Pedro II of Brazil's Daughters Know What (and Who) They Wanted

In 1864 Dom Pedro’s daughters, Dona Isabel and Dona Leopoldina were married. He had two suitors arranged, Gaston, count d’Eu for Leopoldina,  and his cousin Ludwig August, duke of Saxe for Isabel. The two men arrived in Brazil in early September, and set about wooing their prospective brides.

When the sisters got to know them, they exchanged suitors! Leopoldina married Ludwig August on October 15th, 1864, and Isabel married Gaston on December 15th.
