In this fundamental work, historian Miguel Artola precisely analyzes the origins, composition, and activities of the "afrancesados" in Spain. The author refutes various historical clichés, demonstrating that beyond ideological and intellectual "afrancesamiento," there existed a political and material dimension of people who, for various reasons, considered it their duty to join the invader. Artola examines the doctrinal principles of this group, highlighting their monarchism, opposition to revolutionary advances, and advocacy for political and social reforms. It is an essential study for understanding a complex period of Spanish history, offering a rigorous and documented perspective on an often misunderstood group.
