"Carlist" Insurrectionary Governments 1833-1839, 1860, 1872-1876

29 Sep 1833                King Fernando VII dies, Queen María Cristina becomes regent on

                             behalf of their infant daughter Isabel II. This splits the

                             country into two factions, known as the "Cristinos" (or

                             "Isabelinos") and the "Carlists", who were the supporters of 

                             Don Carlos, conde de Molina as Carlos V, who was the brother 

                             of Fernando VII.
 9 Dec 1833                Carlos V appoints a government under Joaquín Abarca y Banqué.

22 Apr 1834                Quadruple Alliance of Portugal, Spain, England and France

                             agree to banish Don Carlos from Spain & Dom Miguel from Portugal.

31 Aug 1839                Carlos V leaves Spain for France. For almost a year some of his 

                             commanders continued to fight on his behalf especially in

                             Catalonia. By 6 Jul 1840 almost all resistance concludes.

25 Sep 1839                Guevara, the last Carlist stronghold in the north, submits.

18 May 1845                Carlos V renounces his claims in favor of his son Carlos Luis,

                             conde de Montemolín, who becomes Carlist claimant as Carlos VI.

 2 Apr 1860                Carlos VI lands at San Carlos de la Rapita in the southernmost

                             part of Catalonia. 

21 Apr 1860                Carlos VI is captured by the troops of Isabel II and forced to

                             renounce his claims to the Spanish throne. On 2 Jun 1860 his

                             brother Juan Carlos, conde de Montizón (b. 1822 - d. 1887),

                             publishes a declaration affirming his accession as Juan III,

                             however on 15 Jun 1860 Carlos VI declares his renouncement was

                             invalid as he been forced to sign against his will.
13 Jan 1861                Carlos VI dies and Juan III becomes sole Carlist claimant, although

                             he takes no active part in the Carlist cause.
30 Sep 1868                Queen Isabel II is deposed by a military coup.

 3 Oct 1868                Juan III abdicates his rights to the Spanish throne in favor

                             of his son Carlos María, duque de Madrid who becomes Carlos VII.

 2 May 1872                Carlos VII crosses into Spain on foot, and subsequently joins 

                             the volunteers at Oroquieta in Navarre.

Aug 1873                   Carlist forces capture Estella in Navarre.

Oct 1874 - 19 Nov 1875     Carlos VII restores the Generalitat in Catalonia.

19 Feb 1876                Spanish government forces retake Estella.

28 Feb 1876                Carlos VII leaves Spain ending the Carlist insurrection.

 ¹What we typically think of as España (Spain) had no constitutionally sanctioned identity until 1808. The style Monarquía Española (Spanish Monarchy) gradually came into use for the whole complex, while several of the component units maintained (in some cases fanatically) their political identity, with their own Cortes, their own charters of rights (fueros), etc. Españas (or Españas e Indias) more closely reflects usage before 1808 than España.

 ²In official documents the ruler used a full style that included effective and titular non-Hispanic titles (e.g., Archduke of Austria) the following is a typical form, while variants are not uncommon:
(a) Por la gracia de Dios, Rey/Reina de Castilla, de León, de Aragón, de las dos Sicilias, de Jerusalén, de Navarra, de Granada, de Toledo, de Valencia, de Galicia, de Mallorca, de Menorca, de Sevilla, de Cerdeña, de Córdoba, de Córcega, de Murcia, de Jaén, del Algarve, de Algeciras, de Gibraltar, de las Islas Canarias, de las Indias Orientales y Occidentales, de las Islas y Tierrafirme del Continente Oceánico, Archiduque/Archiduquesa de Austria, Duque/Duquesa de Borgoña, de Brabante y de Milán, Conde/Condesa de Abspurg, de Flandes, del Tirol y de Barcelona, Señor/Señora de Vizcaya y de Molina, etc ("by the grace of God, King/Queen of Castille, of Leon, of Aragon, of the Two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, of Navarre, of Granada, of Toledo, of Valencia, of Galicia, of Mallorca, of Minorca, of Seville, of Sardinia, of Cordoba of Corsica, of Murcia, of Jaen, of the Algarve, of Algeciras, of Gibraltar, of the Canary Islands, of the East and West Indies, of the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Continent, Archduke/Archduchess of Austria, Duke/Duchess of Burgundy, of Barabant and Milan, Count/Countess of Habsburg, of Flanders, of Tyrol, and of Barcelona, Lord/Lady of Vizcaya and of Molina, etc.") The following short style gradually comes into official use before 1808: Por la gracia de Dios Rey/Reina de las Españas y de las Indias ("by the grace of God, King/Queen of the Spanish and of the Indies").
(b) from 1978: Rey Constitucional de España, Rey de Castilla, de León, de Aragón, de las Dos Sicilias, de Jerusalén, de Navarra, de Granada, de Toledo, de Valencia, de Galicia, de Cerdeña, de Córdoba, de Córcega, de Murcia, de Jaén, de los Algarves, de Algerciras, de Gibraltar, de las Islas Canarias, de las Indias Orientales y Occidentales, de las Islas y Tierra Firme del Mar Océano; Archiduque de Austria; Duque de Borgoña, de Brabante, de Milán, de Atenas y Neopatria; Conde de Habsburgo, de Flandes, del Tirol, del Rosellón, y de Barcelona; Señor de Vizcaya y de Molina; Capitán General de las Reales Fuerzas Armadas y su Comandante Supremo; Soberano Gran maestre de la Insigne Orden del Toisón de Oro, y de cuantas Ordenes discierne el Estado Español ("Constitutional king of Spain, king of Castile, king of Leon, king of Aragon, king of the Two Sicilies, king of Jerusalem, king of Navarra, king of Granada, king of Toledo, king of Valencia, king of Galicia, king of Sardinia, king of Cordoba, king of Corsica, king of Murcia, king of Jaén, king of the Algarves, king of Algeciras, king of Gibraltar, king of the Canaries Islands, king of the West and East Indies, king of the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea [the Americas]; Archduke of Austria; duke of Burgundy, duke of Brabant, duke of Milan, duke of Athens and duke of Neo-Patras, count of Habsburg, count of Flanders, count of Roussillon, count of Barcelona; lord of Viscaya, lord of Molina; Captain-General and Supreme Head of the Royal Armed Forces, Sovereign Grand-Master of the Order of the Golden Fleece, Grand-Master of the orders awarded by the Spanish State").
