Me, Carlos María Isidro de Borbón, V in the throne of the Emperor
Carlos, order my loyals to scourge the cristinian army, forming parties
that will take refuge in the woods and in the mountains..." --Carlos María Isidro de Borbón-Parma, October 1833 |

| In 1833, spanish king Fernando VII died. He only had had two daughters, Isabel and Luisa Fernanda, but an ancient law forbid woman to access the throne. Before he died, Ferdinand revoked that law, but his brother Carlos María didn't accept it. For the first time in spanish history, a civil war between liberals and conservatives was going to start. The absolutist party, the Church and the basque-navarre catholic foralists supported Carlos; the liberal party, the main european powers and the population of the big cities supported the little Isabel and her mather, María Cristina, who assumed the regency. | ||
