Carlism was a social and political movement that formed in support of Carlos María Isidro, the brother of Fernando VII. The movement drew all those nostalgic for absolutism, as well as farmers and peasants badly affected by liberal measures. The Catalan Carlists, of whom there were many in the inland areas and in the Pyrenees, the Pyrenean foothills and around the Ebre, also demanded the re-establishment of the traditional constitutions and privileges. There were three Carlist wars on Catalan soil: the Seven Years' War of 1833-40, the War of the Matiners (one of the warring factions) of 1846-49 and the third Carlist War (1872-76).
