Abstract

Francisco Amorós was one of the most outstanding collaborator of the King José Bonaparte, during of the Spanish War of Independence. This article intents to examine some of the most important reasons that took this josefino for conviction to swear loyalty to the political program that represented the new Monarchy and the Constitution of Bayona, and to analyze the great authority that in theory had the employment of the Royal Commissioner of José I, as well as the various missions carried out and the obstacles founded by one the most active Royal Commissioner josefinos.
