Chapter 13: On The Spanish Carlists
For most book friends familiar with Spanish history, the Carlist faction is not unfamiliar. However, there may still be many book friends who are not familiar with Spanish history or are relatively unfamiliar with the Carlist faction. The author will provide a simple explanation of the Spanish Carlist faction here; book friends who are clear on this history can skip it.
Before Queen Isabella, Spain followed primogeniture, so the Carlist faction had nothing to do with it.
But Queen Isabella’s father Ferdinand VII had only two daughters. In order to keep the throne in his own family, Ferdinand temporarily modified the inheritance law to give Isabella the right to inherit.
Modifying the inheritance law was one thing, but Isabella was only three years old, clearly not suitable to become king.
This caused dissatisfaction for Prince Carlos, Ferdinand VII’s younger brother, who should have inherited the throne. Plus, nobles who originally supported the Salic law( primogeniture) united together, calling Prince Carlos Carlos V—this is the origin of the Carlist faction.
Book friends can Baidu the subsequent Carlist Wars yourselves; they all ended in defeat anyway.
In summary, the Carlist faction is the faction within the Bourbon family fighting for the throne, but at root, it is still the Bourbon family.(Key point)
