The First Carlist War broke out after the death of King Ferdinand VII, the king restored at the end of the Peninsular War thanks to Wellington's victory. The crown was claimed by both his daughter Isabella, backed by the Liberal party and his brother Don Carlos, at the head of northern ultra-conservatives centred in the Basque provinces and Navarre. The Liberals were supported by a British Legion of volunteers, the British Royal Navy, a Portuguese division and the French Foreign Legion. This multinational campaign provides a fascinating postscript to the Peninsular War of 1808-14, and its uniforms present a colourful spectacle.
