El asunto del banquillo de 1705 y la oposición de la Grandeza a las mudanzas borbónicas: de la anécdota a la defensa del cuerpo místico de la Monarquía.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to put in context the courtly rebellion against Philip V in 1705, the so-called Banquillo affair. I argue that this episode belongs to a tradition of aristocratic rebellion against royal tyranny that can be traced to at least the beginning of the 17th century.
