- Abstract
The article titled "The Patriot King. Alfonso XIII and the Nation" analyzes the figure of King Alfonso XIII and his relationship with the Spanish nation. The author highlights that, despite the numerous pages written about the monarch, this study manages to offer an original and well-thought-out perspective. The book focuses on avoiding anachronisms and analyzes the life and reign of Alfonso XIII from a historical and political perspective. The importance of Spanish nationalism in the figure of the monarch is emphasized, as well as his political interventionism and his distancing from liberal constitutionalism. The final assessment of the book is negative, highlighting that Alfonso XIII did not manage to be the king of all Spaniards.
