MEJIA CHAVEZ, Carlos Gustavo. 'The belovedest of all monarchs': A plan for the rescue of Fernando VII (New Spain, 1808-1809). Estud. hist. novohisp [online]. 2016, n.54, pp.6-30. ISSN 2448-6922.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ehn.2016.02.001.

This article attempts to show, after the example of a plan proposed to viceroy Pedro Garibay to rescue Spanish king Fernando VII from his captivity in Valençay, how public support for the "Desired" king increased in New Spain shortly after the arrival of the news of his prison at the hands of the French. Part of these feelings was motivated by the belief, largely taken from Spanish peninsular press and pamphlets and official propaganda, that the king had been the victim of treason and betrayal. This in turn would result in different discourses in favor and against the king.
