The Absolutist Restoration is the period of Spanish history between 1814 and 1833, during which the country experienced a restoration of the absolute monarchy of the Bourbons. After the war of independence against the French occupier, the Cortes met in Madrid in October 1813. Shortly thereafter, Napoleon recognized Ferdinand VII as King of Spain by the Treaty of Valençay. With the support of most of the Spanish population, he returned to his capital on March 22, 1814, by way of Valencia. He then received, from a group of faithful of the monarchy, the manifesto of the Persians, a declaration in favor of an absolutist restoration.
