Carlist Clergy Engravings Priest Priests Shoot Shooting Tortosa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a poignant moment during the First Carlist War in Spain, specifically the shooting of the mother of Ramon Cabreras in Tortosa on 16th February 1936. The scene unfolds as a group of national guards, dressed in uniforms, aim their rifles at the unarmed woman, who is being held down by a priest and other members of the clergy. The atmosphere is tense and chaotic, with smoke rising in the background, suggesting the chaos of the war. The First Carlist War, also known as the Ten Years' War, was a conflict that arose from the dispute over the succession to the Spanish throne following the abdication of King Ferdinand VII in 1833. The Carlists, led by Don Carlos, advocated for the restoration of the absolute monarchy, while the Liberals, who came to power, supported the constitutional monarchy. The shooting of Ramon Cabreras' mother was a tragic incident that took place during the suppression of the Carlists uprising in Tortosa. Ramon Cabreras was a prominent Carlist leader, and his mother was mistakenly identified as his wife, leading to her execution. The incident became a symbol of the brutality and violence that marked the First Carlist War. This engraving, held in the National Library of Madrid, is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of peace and understanding in resolving political disputes. It also highlights the role of the clergy during this period, who were often caught in the middle of the conflict and played a complex role in shaping its outcome.
