4 unusual facts about Basilio García


Basilio García

Basilio Antonio García y Velasco (Logroño, 1791 - Toulon, 1844), known as "Don Basilio de Logroño" in the newspapers of that time, was a Spanish soldier and Carlist military commander.

These plans failed and, after the Convention of Vergara was signed, he fled towards France with soldiers of the Sixth Battalion who had rebelled against the Convention and assassinated General Vicente González Moreno.

During the "Expedición Real" (a campaign in the First Carlist War), he served on the staff of the infante don Sebastián, receiving the rank of General for his actions during the Battle of Villar de los Navarros.

From 1834 to 1836, he made several short expeditions from Navarre (which was dominated by the Carlists), harrying villages in the valleys of the Cordillera.
