There was the marriage of Archduke Karl with Princess Zitta of Bourbon-Parma. He was the heir but neither the son or grandson of the monarch. He was the greatnephew of the king-emperor and nephew of the heir.
The marriages of the Duke of Burgundy to Marie-Adelaide of Savoy and of the Duke de Berry to archduchess Marie-Antoinette in France.
In 1777 the oldest son of the heiress to king Joseph I, Joseph Prince of Beira married.
The grandson of the King married infanta Benedita, the youngest daughter of the king and sister of his mother. The father of the groom was the king's brother and uncle/brother-in-law of the bride.
