Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis

The "Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis" was the popular name for a French army mobilized in 1823 by the Bourbon King of France, Louis XVIII, to help the Spanish Bourbon royalists restore King Ferdinand VII of Spain to the absolute power of which he had been deprived during the Liberal Triennium. Despite the name, the actual number of troops was between 60,000 and 90,000.[2]

"French invasion of Spain" redirects here. For Napoleonic invasion of Spain, see Peninsula War.

A minor campaign, the force comprised some five army corps (the bulk of the French regular army) and was led by the Duke of Angoulême, nephew of Louis XVIII and son of future King Charles X. The French name of the conflict is l'Expédition d'Espagne ("the Expedition of Spain").

Allusions[edit]

During the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, the carabineros of Republican Spain were nicknamed "The Hundred Thousand Sons of Negrín".[4]
