Ferdinand VI of Spain

"I have a report. Trustworthy. The Spanish have located the Fountain of Youth. I will not have some melancholy Spanish Monarch -- a Catholic! -- gain eternal life!"

- George II of Great Britain

Ferdinand VI (Spanish: Fernando VI), called the Learnt, was King of Spain during the 18th century. He was the third member of the Spanish Bourbon dynasty. In 1750, he became interested in the Fountain of Youth after some Spanish fishermen discovered the body of a man who sailed with Juan Ponce de León in search of it.
