About this person

His claim was contested by liberal forces loyal to the dead king's infant daughter, resulting in the First Carlist War (1833-1840). Don Carlos had support from the Basque provinces and much of Catalonia, but lost the war. His heirs continued the traditionalist cause, fought two more Carlist wars and were active into the mid-20th century, but never gained the throne.
