Interest in the Mexican Monarchy has revived considerably in recent years. There are now several websites devoted to the history of the Mexican Monarchy and the House of Iturbide.

As far as we are aware, this is the only website that has had the partial cooperation of the head of the Imperial House of Mexico, Don Maximiliano de Götzen – Iturbide. He is not only the direct descendant of Iturbide, but also the heir to the tradition of the Imperial House of Habsburg in Mexico. He has been very generous in giving us his permission to use some photographs, paintings and documents from his collection. 

Although Don Maximiliano has kindly allowed us access to some of his personal archives, he is in no way responsible for the content of this site, nor has he been asked to approve any of the text.

We wish to stress that this website is dedicated solely to the tradition of the Monarchy in Mexico and its history. It is not a political forum and is not involved in any form of politics. 

Mexico had two experiments with the monarchical form of government in the 19th century. Both were short-lived and both emperors paid with their lives for their heroic resistance and dedication to the monarchical cause.
