Bayonne (Paris 1908); P. Conard, La Constitution de Bayonne (Paris 1909);
M. Artola, Los Afrancesados (Madrid 1953); A. Derozier, Manuel Josef
Quintana et Ia naissance du liberalisme en Espagne (Paris 1968); M.
Defourneaux, Pablo de Olavide ou l'afrancesado (Paris 1959); A. Fugier,
La Junte superieure des Asturies et !'Invasion des Fran(ais (Paris 1930). The
beginnings of the uprising are traced in Perez de Guzman, El 2 de Mayo,
1808 (Madrid 1908). The role of the Church can be followed in W.
Callahan, Church, Politics and Society in Spain, IJSG-I8S4 (1985).
The immediate (1808--{)) military aftermath is covered in X. Balagny,
Campagne de l'Empereur Napoleon en Espagne, 5 vols (Paris 1907); R.
Dudorff, War to the Death; the Sieges of Saragossa, I8o8-18o9 (1974); R.
Parkinson, Moore of Corunna (1976); Carola Oman, Sir John Moore
(1953). The controversial battle of Bailen is covered in A. Titeaux, Une
Erreur historique: le general Dupont, 3 vols (Paris 1904) and M. Leproux,
Le General Dupont (Paris 1934).
There is a wealth of journal articles on French intervention in Spain,
of which only the very important can be mentioned. A very good
overview of the crisis of 1808 can be obtained from R. Herr, 'Good, evil
and Spain's uprising against Napoleon', in R. Herr and H. Parker, eds,
Ideas in History (Durham, NC 1965) pp.1 57-81. For Joseph as King of
Spain there is: P. Gaffarel, 'Deux annees de royaute en Espagne', Revue
des Etudes napo!eoniennes (1919) pp.113-45. For the Savary mission there
is G. de Grandmaison, 'Savary en Espagne', Revue des questions historiques
68 (1909) pp. 188-213. For Ferdinand's intrigues consult: H. Castro
Bonez, 'Manejos de Ferdinanda II contra sus padres y contra Godoy',
Boletin de Ia Universidad de Madrid 2 (1930). The decline of Spain's
position in Latin America, which led to Godoy's uncertain policy and
hence the Napoleonic intervention, can be followed in John Lynch,
'British Policy and Spanish America, 1783-18o8', Journal of Latin
American Studies 1 (1969) pp.1-30. The role of the clergy is examined in
W. Callahan, 'The origins of the Conservative Church in Spain,
1789-1823', European Studies Review 10 (1980) pp.199-223. The subject
of J. Barbier and H. Klein, 'Revolutionary wars and public finances: the
Madrid treasury, 1784-18o7', Journal of European History 2 (1981) is self­
explanatory.
