Leocadia Zorrilla

In 1807, Leocadia married Isidore Weiss, a Jewish-German jeweler whose family lived in Madrid, and they settled into his parents' home.

In 1824, Leocadia was compelled to leave Madrid for Bayonne, as her son, Guillermo, had become involved in the revolutionary activities of Francisco Espoz y Mina.

Although Leocadia had a fiery, restless temperament and Goya had become rather feeble, they appeared to enjoy each other's company and were often seen in public together.

[2] Despite Javier's apparent generosity, Leocadia's letters indicate that the following five years were difficult and that she survived largely by virtue of a pension from the French government.

They supported themselves on what Rosario was able to earn by copying and selling works of the Old Masters at the Museo del Prado.

This position was probably obtained by liberal friends of her brother, Guillermo, who knew Agustín Argüelles, Isabel's legal guardian.
