With British support he drove Dom Miguel out of the country, and compelled him to sign the Capitulation of Evora-Monte (1834). Dom Pedro 1 66 A Short History of Europe died a few months later, and his daughter sat firmly on the throne of a Liberal monarchy. On the death of Ferdinand VII in 1 833, Spain ...was in a predica- ment like Portugal's, and, as in Portugal, her absolutist system came to an end in a war of succession. Ferdinand's fourth wife, Cristina of Naples, gave him two daughters, Isabella and Maria Louisa. In Isabella's interests he revoked the Spanish Salic Law of 171 3 and promulgated a Pragmatic Sanction of 1789 which restored female succession to the throne. But for the revocation of the Salic Law of 1713 the Crown would have passed to the king's brother, Don Carlos, whose claims were supported by the Absolutist or " Apostolical " party, while Isabella was identified with Liberalism through her mother's gift of a Louis XVIII Constitution under the Royal Statute of 1 834.
