Austracista

Austriacista (Spanish pronunciation:) is the term currently used by Spanish historiography to refer to the Spanish supporters of Archduke Charles of Austria as a candidate to the Spanish Crown during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1713). Bourbon supporters on the other hand supported Philip of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV of France. Although present in Castile and Spanish America, support for the Habsburgs was concentrated in the territories of the Crown of Aragon which included Valencia, Mallorca and the Principality of Catalonia.
