Condition report: Very good. The Spanish Expedition was the campaign launched in April 1823 by France to end the constitutional regime established during the reign of Ferdinand VII following the Revolution of 1820. On April 7, 1823, the Army of the Pyrenees entered Spain silently. The clergy, peasants, and absolutists of the "Army of the Faith" welcomed them. The constitutional armies, supported mainly by the bourgeoisie and a portion of the urban population, retreated. The liberal government and the Cortes transferred their seat to Seville, then, on June 14, to Cádiz, taking King Ferdinand VII with them. On May 23, French troops entered Madrid, where the Duke of Angoulême established a regency under his protection. Until November, they engaged the liberals in a series of battles throughout the peninsula.
