Summary

When Fernando VII died (1833) there was an armed rebellion by his brother Charles against the succession to the throne of his niece Elizabeth II. In the Basque Country, the Deputations had "armed civilians" for the defense of their interests. But in some villages liberals organized themselves into "battalions of volunteers", as did also, spontaneously, some women in "urban battalions".
