In 1863, the Second Mexican Empire was established, with Maximilian I of Mexico being proclaimed Emperor in 1864.[2][unreliable source] 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][unreliable source][3][unreliable source] 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.
