La comisión de Cayetano Manrique en defensa de los fueros vascos en 1866 y su memoria a las diputaciones vascas

Abstract

This paper analyzes the investigatory commission of Cayetano Manrique in the Royal Chancery of Valladolid and Simancas archives in defence of the Basque foral liberties. In view of a new attack by Senator Sánchez Silva that took place in June 1867, Manrique¿s investigation was the base for the publication of his foral rectifications to the speech of the andalusian senator and the reprint in 1868 of the History and jurisdiction of the Basque Country. It includes the management report of Cayetano Manrique to the Basque provincial councils in 1866 and the inventory of documentary sources with his critical comment.
