Today we have also learn about the centralized Absolutism.
Philip V was the father of Ferdinand VI, both of them with mental problems, but this didn't interfere in government.
Philip V was a bipolar king, he had a lot of mood changes; one moment he was euphoric and at other moment he had remorses and went tothe priest to confess.
A lot of changes took places during his reign:
- Punishment to the Crown of Aragón; all they institutions disapperared, they lost the Crown and the Cortes of Aragón disappeared, the unique contribution was a tax of 5% tax everybody from the former Crown of Aragón had to pay.
- The Cortes of Castile became the Cortes of Spain.
- Corregidores were extended to Aragón.
- Intendants, an institution of French origin with tax collection and mmilitary powers
- The country was divided into 21 provinces during his government.
- Also the cabinet appeared.

When Louis died, Philip was forced to return to the throne.
When he died in 1746, his second son, Ferdinand VI became king.
Ferdinand only reigned for 31 years.
He (normally) was a normal peerson but when his wife died, he became crazy.
During his reign; some competent ministers worked for him like the Marquis of Ensenada and Carvajal.
The Ensenada Cadastre was a project to extend(ed) the unique contribution to Castile, but was rejected by the privileged.
The Navy was reformed to improve the control of the Indies.
When we died, his half'-brother Charles III became the king.
Charles had been king of Naples for 20 years.
At the beginning of his reign, he had problems in his government.
In 1766 there was a revolt called Esquilache Riots.
This revolt wanted to eliminated the ordinance on clothing and the lowering of staples. The ordinance on clothing was promoted by Esquilache because he thought that is a good way to preventing crimes. But after the riot, the ordinance was eliminated by Charles III.
