We have seen some photos of this. Charles III dimissed Esquilache and expelled the Jesuits, ( they have been accused of having participated in the riots) but he went an with reforms.
Then we have defined regalism which waa a reinforcement of the power of the monarchs over the Church, imposing their authority over religious orders and the herarchy of the Church.
