Cuenca

Bueno, eso es un nombre, ¿eh?

Nació en Cuenca, eh, era hija de un alto funcionario de la Casa Real y tuvo su participación en la corte de Isabel II y de Cristina de Borbón.

Ah, ah, Cristina de Borbón, ahí viene el asunto de los carlistas, ¿eh? Algún día hablaremos de eso.

Ah, y la llamaban después la monja de las hagas.
