Ramón Will pull up

Ramon Will pull up (December 27th 1806, Tortosa, Province of Tarragone - 1877, Wentworth (the United Kingdom), Général Carliste of Spain.

His/her parents were the marine poor. Its education was initially that of all the children of its class in Spain. It spent its first years to be played at the edge of the Èbre and in the streets of Tortosa.

When it was a little larger, one intended it at the ecclesiastical state, and one placed it as clerk or Farnulo in a canon of the cathedral named gift Vincente Presivia.

The character independent and dissipated of the Cabrera young person did not put up with this studious and flexible life. He lazy, was discharged, quarreller, shameless, finally a franc Tronero (good-for-nothing), so that when came for him the moment to request the subdiaconate, the bishop gift Victor Saez refused to him.

Here it is thus on the paving stone at twenty-four years, without state, money, with a hateful reputation, knowing only to become. Then at Tortose the news of died of Ferdinand VII arrived. It was a great happiness for the désappointé schoolboy, who hastened to benefit from the occasion.

Seven to eight days after, towards mid-October the 1833, a conspiracy was discovered against the authority of the queen Isabelle II; Will pull up in was. The general Berton, governor of the city, ordered continuations; the general vicar gift Mateo Sanpons informed against him. He managed to escape and ran away himself in the mountains, refuge usual of all those which deal with justice in the cities. There, he learned that the fortress of Morella had fallen to the capacity from an insurrection carlist, and he went there at once to enlist.

This town of Morella plays a great part in the life of Will pull up; it was successively the cradle, the seat and the tomb of its fortune. The importance of this point is very-known in this country; it is on him that had naturally to go the first efforts of the revolt.

The Baron de Herbes, old Corrégidor of Valence, and the Mayor of Villaréal, gift Joaquin Llorens, had not rather learned death from Ferdinand VII, that, being placed at the head of some royalist battalions, they raised the standard of Charles V, and moved on the Maestrazgo.

The colonel gift Victoria Sea, governor of Morella, either by sympathy of opinions, or that it was not believed in a position to be defended, opened the doors of the place to them, and, they established their general headquarter there.

It was whereas Cabrera was presented. One was in the first days of 1833. It arrived in this city. As he announced that he could write, it was done corporal, and the weapons missing one gave him a shotgun. The bands carlists were attacked soon by the Berton general, with Pedrera, opposite Morella.

The young recruit showed a true bravery in this last business, and accepted for reward the rank of sergeant.

The military life of Will pull up had of duration only that of the civil war. His beginning variously was told. It is claimed, for example, that one day it submitted to the general headquarter Don Carlos (the applicant), and asked to give to him of the important dispatches. These dispatches, it had taken them from a mail charged to carry them to the government of Madrid. The unhappy mail had been assassinated.

Undermined using of reprisals, made stop in Tortose the old mother of Will pull up and his/her three sisters and made them put at dead (1836).

Having left the army carlist with a certain number of soldiers whom it had under its orders, Cabrera was thrown in high Aragon, where it spread terror in the name of gift Carlos, but while however refusing to obey the orders of the carlists chiefs.

Its troop was not long in becoming considerable and it was made proclaim general by it. Soon it obtained gift Carlos the confirmation of this rank.

A long time one saw Mina and Will pull up, rivals in policy, to put their self-esteem to fight of cruelty towards the prisoners that the fate of the war made fall between their hands. After being itself seized a crowd of cities, boroughs and castles in the province of Valence and in Aragon, Will pull up, precipitating with the continuation of Miguel Gomez, entered the Andalusia, but scorned by the small court of gift Carlos, it returned in Aragon, was surprised there by forces of much higher, which beat and dispersed its army. He even seriously was wounded and tracked on all sides by the christinos, which forced it to hide in wood. A priest of Almagon, village close to quarterings, enemies, gave him asylum.

Hardly cured its wound, it reorganized its army corps, and thanks to the order and with the discipline which it could establish in the rows, it counted soon under its orders 10.000 men of infantry and 1.600 horses. Entering with the speed of the flash the Province of Valence, it completely beat there the Christinos, the February 18th 1837, with Bunol, and the March 19th according to, with Burjazot, making in these two meetings a great quantity of prisoners and removing immense spoils.

Beaten in its turn by the hunters of Oporto, around Torre-Bianca, and wounded again seriously, he escaped only miraculeusement death. One had not been able yet to extract from his body the lead which had struck it, when the occupation of the important position of Villa-Réal by the christinos inspired the daring thought to him to surprise them there and to drive out them.

After being itself seized the old castle-extremely of Contrarieje, non-seulement it resisted with energy to the general Oraa, sent to stop its successes, but still it strongly supported the walk of the applicant on Madrid, operation bold which failed to open the doors of this capital to him. The prince, grateful, named it, by a decree of 1838, count of Morella (Will pull up had taken this fortress), lieutenant-general of his armies, general governor of the provinces of Aragon, Valence and Murcie.

Happy in almost all its forwardings, Cabrera is lived finally reduced to keep the defensive, after the treason of Marolo. When impossibility of supporting the fight longer forced the applicant to give up the part and to take refuge in France, Cabrera declared proudly that it would continue the war for his own account.

But a serious disease (1839) prevented it from carrying out the vast projects which it had conceived, and reduced it to remain inactive in a strong position, in the middle of the mountains of the Catalogne and Aragon, until the July 6th 1840, day when Espartero forced it to be thrown with the remains of its troop on the French territory.

Conduit initially with the Castle of Ham, it was returned to freedom a few months afterwards, and went, in 1841, to restore its health with the islands of Hyères.

The Cabrera general left the islands of Hyères for the England in May 1850. One learned by the Morning-Post that it had just married, with London, miss Marianne-Catherine Richards, only daughter of fire Robert-Vanghan Richards.
