Blancs d'Espagne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blancs d'Espagne (Spanish Whites) was a term used to refer to those legitimists in France who, following the death of the Comte de Chambord in 1883, supported the Spanish Carlist claimant rather than the Orleanist candidate, who was supported by the vast majority of French royalists.

The term was generally used by supporters of the Comte de Paris, the Orleanist candidate, as a term of derision for their ultra-legitimist opponents who so hated the House of Orleans that they would support a foreign prince over an Orleanist candidate.
