| Spanish pretender to the throne, the second son of Charles (Carlos) IV of Spain, born in Madrid, Spain. On the accession of his niece Isabella II (1830–1904) in 1833, he asserted his claim to the throne - a claim reasserted by his son, Don Carlos, Count de Montemolin (1818–61), and by the latter's nephew, Don Carlos (1848–1909). Carlist risings, whose strength lay in the Basque provinces, occurred in 1834–9 and 1872–6. |
