Abstract

This article analyzes Spanish general Domingo Dulce y Garay's (1808-1869) participation in the preparations for the military coup of September 1868 that put an end to Elizabeth II's reign. Using both primary and secondary sources —with particular attention to contemporary records— Dulce y Garay's actions during the negotiations with democrats and progressists until the triumph of the Revolution a year later will be reconstructed. The Rioja official's biography allows us to raise other questions of a more general nature about the role of the Unión Liberal in the debate on Isabella II's replacement, the organization and leadership of the party after Leopoldo O'Donnell's death or the funding of the conspiracy. After an initial reflection on biographies as a tool for historical research and a discussion of the relevance of Dulce y Garay's figure, a brief chronology of his activity up to 1866 will be elaborated. Then, the main focus of this work, that is, the influence of his individual decisions on the historical course of events regarding the final stage of Isabella II’s period, will be addressed. This paper’s methodology is analogous to that of Biographical History, in this instance used as a tool for a larger-scale analysis of Political History.

    2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
    3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties, including when the Licensed Material is used other than for NonCommercial purposes.

  1. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes only and provided You do not Share Adapted Material;
  2. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and

    For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.
  3. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
