Another "new" Spanish Monarch
Joseph Bonaparte is crowned King of Spain.
This morning, 6th of July of 1808, Joseph Bonaparte, the former King of Naples, has been crowned in Beyona as the new King of Spain by his brother Napoleón Bonaparte.
His proclamation as the monarch has been precipitated by the increase of the violence that followed the riot of 2nd of May and culminated a period of conclusions and political intrigues instigated by the strategy of the emperor Napoleon I to obtain the abdication of the throne of the reigning dynasty of Carlos IV of Spain assuring the influence and primacy of the First French Empire.
