Duke Alfonso de Castellano spearheaded an open rebellion against the Spanish Crown, founding the Spanish Reformist Party. In a matter of months, their ranks had swelled to hundreds of thousands of supporters.
Their mission was clear-cut: dethrone the incumbent monarchs, King Charles IV and Manuel de Godoy, and elevate Alfonso de Castellano to power.
Remarkable progress was witnessed across the nation, with major cities like Barcelona, Zaragoza, Aranjuez, Valencia, Seville, and Toledo joining the uprising.
This led to a full-blown civil war, as the royalist forces loyal to King Charles IV and Manuel de Godoy clashed with the rebel factions led by Duke Alfonso de Castellano.
