The Riego Revolt.
(1)In January 1 1.820, Spanish troops awaiting
transport to the colonies mutined under colonels Rafael Riego and
Antonio Quiroga and Cowed Ferdinand into restoring the liberal
constitution of 1.812. An event of outmost importance for the Spanish-
American patriots, this meant that they would have to cope only with
royalist troops already in the Americas, for no more would likely to
be coming
