General Baldomero Espartero, leader of the military known as the "Ayacuchos".
Ayacuchos is the nickname given by the opponents of the Spanish general Baldomero Espartero to the military men grouped around him and who formed a "camarilla" that had a notable influence during his regency (1840-1843) and with whom they shared the liberal-progressive political orientation (among others: José Ramón Rodil, García Camba, Isidro Alaix, Antonio Seoane[1] and Francisco Linage, his military secretary).[2] The name comes from the fact that all of them had participated in the Battle of Ayacucho (1824) that put an end to the Spanish-American wars of independence, although curiously, Espartero did not participate in the battle of Ayacucho, as he was captured shortly after disembarking. By extension, the term was also used - although the expression "espadón" was preferred - to refer to the military men who played a leading role in the political life of the reign of Isabella II of Spain, of different political orientation (Espartero, Narváez, O'Donnell, Prim or Serrano).
