Alfonso XIII
Alfonso XIII (17 May 1886 â€“ 28 February 1941), also known as El Africano or the African, was King of Spain from 17 May 1886 to 14 April 1931, when the Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed. He was a monarch from birth as his father, Alfonso XII, had died the previous year. Alfonso's mother, Maria Christina of Austria, served as regent until he assumed full powers on his sixteenth birthday in 1902. Alfonso XIII's upbringing and public image were closely linked to the military estate, often presenting himself as a soldier-king. His effective reign started four years after the so-called 1898 Disaster, with various social factions projecting their expectations of national regeneration upon him. Similarly to other European monarchs of his time, he played an important political role, entailing a highly controversial use of his constitutional executive powers. His wedding with Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg in 1906 was marked by a regicide attempt, from which he escaped unhar ...

Copa Del Rey
The Campeonato de España–Copa de Su Majestad el Rey, commonly known as Copa del Rey or simply La Copa and formerly known as Copa del Presidente de la República (1932–36) and Copa del Generalísimo (1939–76), is an annual knockout football competition in Spanish football, organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The competition was founded in 1903, thus making it the oldest Spanish football competition played at a national level. It is considered one of the most prestigious ''national cup'' trophies in the world. Copa del Rey winners qualify for the following season's UEFA Europa League. If they have already qualified for Europe through their league position, then the Europa League spot is given to the highest-placed team in the league who has not yet qualified (until 2014 this place was awarded to the Copa runners-up, unless they too had already qualified via the league). Barcelona is the most successful club in the competition, having won 31 Spanish Cup t ...

Santiago Massana
Santiago Massana Urgellés (5 June 1889 – Unknown), nicknamed Tiago, was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender. He was best known for his height, which he imposed on his opponents. His brother, Alfredo Massana, was also a footballer. Club career Born in Barcelona, he joined the first team of Ibèric FC during the 1903-04 season, forming a great defensive partnership with the club's goalkeeper, Pedro Gibert, who also were teammates at X Sporting Club and Club Español de Fútbol. For the form, they played a pivotal role in the club's three back-to-back Catalan championships between 1906 and 1908, the latter two with the added help of his younger brother, Alfredo. In 1909, the club was effectively relaunched as the Club Deportivo Español, the name which still stands today. Easily identifiable on the pitch due to height, Tiago was a tough and forceful defender, dwarfing his rivals and he also enjoyed a strong shot that he often used to clear the balls from his area, but ...

Pedro Gibert (footballer)
Pedro Gibert Requesens (15 February 1888 – 9 October 1966) was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He was nicknamed Grapes because he allowed himself the luxury of blocking the ball with one hand. He was considered the best Catalan goalkeeper of his time and one of the first great idols of Espanyol, in fact, he was the idol of the great Ricardo Zamora. Club career Born in Catalonia, he joined the first team of Ibèric FC during the 1903-04 season, where he formed a great defensive partnership with Santiago Massana, and they also were teammates at X Sporting Club and RCD Espanyol. In Ibèric, he stood out as an extraordinary goalkeeper, which earned him a move to Club Español de Fútbol in 1904, but just a few months later the club folded due to financial reasons, and most of the players, including him, joined X Sporting Club. He played a pivotal role in the club's three back-to-back Catalan championships between 1906 and 1908. In 1909, the club was effectively rela ...
