Excerpt from The King's Revoke: An Episode in the Life of Patrick DillonSpain, a true son of the Catholic sovereigns, would never be frightened by foreign soldiers, would never crouch before a foreign usurper; above all, would never humiliate and betray his country for his personal advantage. Carlos IV. Had allowed the sceptre to slip from his feeble hands into those of a subject manifestly, or at least apparently, guilty of all these things. Let Carlos then abdicate in favour of the heir, Ferdinand, Prince of the Asturias, who had long been kept in a kind of palace imprisonment, allowed to play no part in public affairs, and destined perhaps, they whispered, to be poisoned, as it was boldly said, his young wife had been poisoned.So one day, when Marshal Bessieres was crossing the Pyrenees with thirty thousand French tr00ps at his back, the People made Ferdinand King by acclamation. The cowed astonished old King signed his abdication; Godoy, thankful to escape with life, was dragged to prison, and Ferdinand VIL, the Desired, Ferdinand the reticent and unknown, reigned in their stead.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
