Ferdinand VII(Spanish:Fernando; 14 October 1784 – 29 September 1833) was theKing of Spainduring the early- to mid-19th century. He reigned over the Spanish Kingdom in 1808 and again from 1813 to his death in 1833. He was known to his supporters asel Deseado(the Desired) and to his detractors asel ReyFelón(the Felon King).

Born in Madrid atEl Escorial, Ferdinand VII spent his youth asheir apparentto the Spanish throne. Following the 1808Tumult of Aranjuez, he ascended the throne. That yearNapoleonoverthrew him; he linked his monarchy to counter-revolution and reactionary policies that produced a deep rift in Spain between his forces on the right and liberals on the left. Back in power in December 1813, he reestablished the absolutist monarchy and rejected theliberal constitution of 1812. A revolt in 1820 led byRafael del Riegoforced him to restore the constitution thus beginning theLiberal Triennium: a three-year period of liberal rule. In 1823 theCongress of Veronaauthorized a successfulFrench interventionrestoring him to absolute power for the second time. He suppressed the liberal press from 1814 to 1833, jailing many of its editors and writers.

Under his rule,Spain lostnearly all of itsAmerican possessions, and the country entered into alarge-scale civil warupon his death. His political legacy has remained contested since his passing, with most historians regarding him as incompetent, despotic, and short-sighted.
