Christinos

"Troops of the Queen" or Christino soldiers

The Christinos (Spanish: Cristinos) (sometimes called the Isabellinos or the Liberales) was the name for the supporters of the claim of Isabel II to the throne of Spain during the First Carlist War. The Christinos drew their name from Maria Christina, the Queen Mother of Isabel II, who rallied the Spanish Liberals to her side against the reactionary Carlists, in favor of her daughter.
