Muñagorriren Bertsoak
''Muñagorriren bertsoak'' () are a set of written ''bertsolaritza, bertsos'' (extemporaneous poems in Basque language, Basque) written and published in Gipuzkoa (Southern Basque Country, Basque Country, Spain) in 1838 during the last stage of the First Carlist War. During the war various ''bertso'' leaflets were published, promoting various factions, with some enjoying wide circulation and influence over public opinion across Basque language areas, the main Carlism, Carlist stronghold. The ''Muñagorri bertsos'' were issued by José Antonio Muñagorri's faction with the aim of creating a split within Infante Carlos, Count of Molina, Carlos de Borbón's supporters and putting an end to the war, in exchange for keeping a reduced version of History of the Basque people#Under the nation-states, home rule in the Basque Country (peace and ''fueros''). Muñagorri's influence on the ground was small, but his talks with the liberals in Madrid paved the way to the Embrace of Vergara, Embrac ...

Bertsolaritza
Bertsolaritza or bertsolarism is the art of singing extemporaneously composed songs in Basque according to various melodies and rhyming patterns. Bertsos can be composed at a variety of occasions but are performed generally by one or various ''bertsolaris'' onstage in an event arranged for the purpose or as a sideshow, in homage ceremonies, in benefit lunches and suppers, with friends or at a competition. Such a sung piece of composition is called a ''bertso'', the person who sings it is called a ''bertsolari'' and the art of composing bertsos is called ''bertsolaritza'' in Basque. Traditionally these were sung by men but there is an increasing number of young female bertsolaris today. Usually the Basque terms are used in Spanish and French but the Spanish terms ''versolarismo'' and ''bertsolarismo'' and the French terms ''bertsularisme'' (from Zuberoan ''bertsularitza''), ''bertsolarisme'' and ''versification'' are also used.

History Of The Basque People
The Basques ( eu, Euskaldunak) are an indigenous ethno-linguistic group mainly inhabiting Basque Country (adjacent areas of Spain and France). Their history is therefore interconnected with Spanish and French history and also with the history of many other past and present countries, particularly in Europe and the Americas, where a large number of their descendants keep attached to their roots, clustering around Basque clubs which are centers for Basque people. Origins First historical references In the 1st century, Strabo wrote that the northern parts of what are now Navarre (''Nafarroa'' in Basque) and Aragon were inhabited by the Vascones. Despite the evident etymological connection between ''Vascones'' and the modern denomination ''Basque'', there is no direct proof that the Vascones were the modern Basques' ancestors or spoke the language that has evolved into modern Basque, although this is strongly suggested both by the historically consistent toponymy of the area ...

Embrace Of Vergara
The Convention of Vergara ( es, Convenio de Vergara, eu, Bergarako hitzarmena), entered into on 31 August 1839, was a treaty successfully ending the major fighting in Spain's First Carlist War. The treaty, also known by many other names including the Embrace of Vergara ( es, Abrazo de Vergara), was signed by Baldomero Espartero for the '' Isabelines'' (or "Constitutionalists") and Rafael Maroto for the Carlists. The two generals met at the hermitage of San Antolín de Abadiano near Durango, Biscay. The British commissioner Colonel Wylde attended as an observer, because of Britain's recent role as mediator in the conflict and the Lord Eliot Convention on prisoners of war. Also present was Brigadier Francisco Linage, secretary to Espartero. Initially, negotiations were stymied by the matter of home rule (''fueros''), the specific institutional and legal framework of the Basque Country ( Basque Provinces and Navarre). Maroto had promised to defend the ''fueros'', but Espartero h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Infante Carlos, Count Of Molina
''Infante'' (, ; f. ''infanta''), also anglicised as Infant or translated as Prince, is the title and rank given in the Iberian kingdoms of Spain (including the predecessor kingdoms of Aragon, Castile, Navarre, and León) and Portugal to the sons and daughters (''infantas'') of the king, regardless of age, sometimes with the exception of the heir apparent or heir presumptive to the throne who usually bears a unique princely or ducal title.de Badts de Cugnac, Chantal.

Carlism
Carlism ( eu, Karlismo; ca, Carlisme; ; ) is a Traditionalist and Legitimist political movement in Spain aimed at establishing an alternative branch of the Bourbon dynasty – one descended from Don Carlos, Count of Molina (1788–1855) – on the Spanish throne. The movement was founded in consequence of a dispute over the succession laws and widespread dissatisfaction with the Alfonsine line of the House of Bourbon. It was at its strongest in the 1830s but experienced a revival following Spain's defeat in the Spanish–American War in 1898, when Spain lost its last remaining significant overseas territories of the Philippines, Cuba, Guam, and Puerto Rico to the United States. Carlism was a significant force in Spanish politics from 1833 until the end of the Francoist regime in 1975. In this capacity, it was the cause of the Carlist Wars of the 19th century and an important factor in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. Today, Carlists are a minor party. Origins The ...
