Life

Studies and Spanish War of Independence of 1812

After attending school, he studied humanities and natural sciences from 1797 to 1803 at the University of Cuenca , the University of Salamanca and the University of Complutense Madrid .

He then returned to Asturias in 1803 , where he was later a member of the General Junta of the Principality of Asturias ( Junta General del Principado de Asturias ) during the Napoleonic Wars on the Iberian Peninsula (1808 to 1814). Between 1810 and 1813 he was a member of the Cortes of Cádiz , which passed the Constitution of Cádiz on March 19, 1812 . He was one of the driving forces and authoritative defender of the constitutional text. As such, he also advocated restricting the king's power.

However, this meant that Queipo had to go into exile in London in 1814 after the return of King Ferdinand VII . After his exile until the end of his life and confiscation of all property due to his rebellion, he went into exile in Paris , Lisbon and Berlin , where he developed into a moderate liberal .

Trienio Liberal, Exile and Prime Minister

After Ferdinand VII had issued an amnesty for all people living in exile for political reasons at the beginning of the Trienio Liberal on April 23, 1820 , Queipo returned to Spain. In the elections of Cortes in May 1820 he was elected MP in the constituency of Asturias. From September to October 1820 he was chairman of the parliament.

After the French invasion of Spain , which restored Ferdinand's absolute rule, Queipo again went into exile in France , where he wrote and published his books on the Spanish War of Independence in 1827 and 1832 . After the death of King Ferdinand VII, the general amnesty decreed by the throne council of the three-year-old new Queen Isabella II and the lifting of the death sentence that had meanwhile been imposed on him, he returned to Spain.

On June 18, 1834 he was appointed Minister of Finance ( Ministro de Hacienda ) in the cabinet of the first Prime Minister Francisco Martínez de la Rosa . As such, however, he was unable to carry out the extensive reforms of the financial system that were necessary to overcome the economic crisis that resulted from the Carlist Wars .

On June 30, 1834, he was elected Member of Parliament ( Estamento de los Procuradores del Reino ), where he represented the constituency of Oviedo until his death .

Nevertheless, during the reign of Maria Christina of Sicily on June 7, 1835, he was appointed Prime Minister to succeed Martínez de la Rosa . He handed over the office of Prime Minister to Miguel Ricardo de Álava just four months later .

In 1840 he returned to Paris, where he died three years later. Since June 10, 1835 he was married to the fourth daughter of the 12th Marquis (Marqués) of Camarasa.
