History of Spain. First Carlist War (1833-1840). Manacor (Majorca Island). Sa Llorensada or Es Rebumbori (9 August 1835). The only violent episode that took place in the Balearic Islands during the civil conflict. Carlist insurrection following the burning of convents in Catalonia and Zaragoza. The civil governor of Majorca appointed a bursar who was not to the bishop's liking, and he resigned. On the day of Saint Christina, the doors of the militiamen and liberals were marked with crosses made of human excrement. This led to the arrest of several Carlists. The reaction of the Carlist citizens was to riot in front of the prison, and the guards gave in and the prisoners were released. Illustration by Villegas. Engraving by Aliot.
