ESQUILACHE MUTINY

Who was Esquilache?

He was an Italian minister during the rule of Charles III

What were the reasons of the mutiny?

There were several reasons because Esquilache imposed various measures:

a) The rising costs of bread, oil, coal and meat

b) The liberalization of the grain trade

c) Spanish people hated his Italian origin

The last straw was the replacement of the wide-brimmed hat for the three-cornered hat (French style) and the obligation of wearing shorts capes. He wanted to improve public safety.

When did the mutiny start?

It started in 1766 and Esquilache leaved Spain. 

The rioters wanted only Spanish ministers in the government and a lower price of basic goods.
