# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Amadeo was the second son of Victor Emmanuel II of Italy, born 30 May 1845, and spent most of his life as the Duke of Aosta. The Cortes Generales elected him Spain's monarch in 1870 following Isabel II's deposition, and he was sworn in the following year — the only Savoy ever to wear Spain's crown. His reign ran headlong into Carlist uprisings in the north, the Cuban independence movement, and rising republican sentiment. After three years he abdicated and returned to Italy, and Spain declared its First Republic in his wake. He died 18 January 1890, having founded the Aosta branch of the House of Savoy.
