Abstract

The decision of Ferdinand VII in 1814 to radically separate the affairs and government of his Royal House and Heritage from the most general of the Treasury and the State has often been interpreted as a manifestation of administrative rationality. Far from that, the work shows how this act was the beginning of the assets drift, even with a privatizing character, on the set of goods that constituted the historical Royal Patrimony. This last was tried to been nationalized by the liberals in accordance with their sovereign principles. The heritage drift was especially intense in the territories of the ancient Crown of Aragon. The analysis would approach to an original characterization of the nature of a postrevolutionary new absolutism, absolutely not understandable to the overcome Eighteenth Century absolutism.
