DIEZ-MORRAS, Francisco-Javier. Freemasonry and liberal revolution in Spain: The Confederation of Comuneros. REHMLAC [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.2, pp.1-27. ISSN 1659-4223. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rehmlac.v11i1.38480.
The Confederation of Comuneros began at the beginning of 1821 in the Masonic lodges and was created by exalted members as a reaction to the moderation of their brethren. Soon it had many members, spreading throughout Spain and uniquely in rural areas. It was equipped with a simpler structure than Freemasonry, adopting a terminology related to the communal revolts of the first quarter of the 16th century. Among its aims was to carry out a liberal revolution. After a first crisis in October 1822 and a split in February 1823, it weakened, becoming irrelevant once Spain’s constitutional system was demolished.
Palabras clave : Confederation of Comuneros; Liberal Triennium; constitutionalism; exaltation.
