Eugenia Martinez was born in 1674 in Northern Spain. She started out as a healthy strong baby but that soon changed when she continued to grow bigger in a short amount of time. Eugenia spent most of her young childhood being mocked and made fun of. At the age of six King Charles II invited her to join his royal court and live at his palace in Madrid. It was here that she was nicknamed “La Monstrua” The Monster. Join me to hear the story of the Eugenia Martinez. This information was sourced from girlmuseum.org
