Abstract

The works of José María Blanco White and Lord Holland are a source to study and to understand the reign of the Spanish king Charles IV. In their writings there are some references to Mariano Luis de Urquijo, a Spanish minister which biographical and political profile is still unclear. In the following pages we try to classify the stories of Blanco White and Lord Holland in their historical context, providing a perspective of how Urquijo’s figure was perceived in Britain.
