This book analyses royal education in nineteenth-century,
constitutional Spain. Its main subjects are Isabel II (1830- 1904),
Alfonso XII (1857-1885) and Alfonso XIII (1886-1941) during their
time as monarchs-in-waiting. Their upbringing was considered an
opportunity to shape the future of Spain, reflected the political
struggles that emerged during the construction of a liberal state,
and allowed for the modernisation of the monarchy. The education of
heirs to the throne was taken seriously by contemporaries and
assumed wider political, social and cultural significance. This
volume is structured around three powerful groups which showed an
active interest, influenced, and significantly shaped royal
education: the court, the military, and the public. It throws new
light on the position of the Spanish monarchy in the constitutional
state, its ability to adapt to social, political, and cultural
change, and its varied sources of legitimacy, power, and
attraction.
