Légende
The Esquilache Riots, 1766, (1891). Uprising that took place in Madrid between 23 and 26 March 1766 and whose pretext was the measures taken by the Marquis of Esquilache (1700-1785) on the use of the traditional long cloaks and wide-brimmed hats. The shortage of bread and the rising price of basic goods contributed to the revolt. As a result of these continuing protests, King Charles III dismissed Esquilache and ordered prices to be lowered. The Jesuits were expelled, accused of promoting the rebellion. From "Historia General de España" (General History of Spain), by Miguel Morayta. Volume V. Madrid, 1891.
