Abstract

In 1716 was published in Milan a text which expresses both the historical and political reasons of Charles III of Austria in theWar of the Spanish Succession (1702-1715). It is an extensive text of 72 pages that was written by a Castilian clergyman who defended Barcelona during the last siege and consequently was exiled to Italy by the new Bourbon authority. This article studies some of the main points of the text, for example: the refusal of the Bourbon tyrannical dynasty and the arguments for a fair monarchy; the meaning of the ascend to the throne by Philip V of Spain that would disrupt the balance of power in Europe and cause the climax of the decay of Spain; the reporting of the betrayal of the allied countries; the vindication of the Castilian Austriacism and the cristicism against Bourbon support by certain Catalan sectors and last but not least the description of the repression and exile.
