If we were asked about the most defamed monarch in the history of Spain, most of us would think of Fernando VII, the "felon king". In this work, Luis del Pino turns to primary sources in the French and Spanish archives, including dozens of letters, official documents and the memoirs of the direct protagonists to verify that many of the claims about Fernando VII were false, while other data had been silenced and ignored. In a literary game in which Fernando VII himself defends himself before the court of history, Luis del Pino reconstructs the Conspiracy of El Escorial, the events that led to the Napoleonic invasion and May 2, or the confrontation with the liberals of Cádiz. The result is the portrait of a complex personality inserted in the story of a fast-paced time, full of conspiracies, balances of power and high politics.
