| History: |
| Installed in Madrid with approval of Louis-Antoine de France, duc d'Angoulême (son of future Charles X), commander-in-chief of the French army, which invaded Spain (7 Apr 1823) to restore absolutism; initial list of Regency members was drafted by the Consejo de Castilla (Council of Castile) and Consejo de Indias (Council of the Indies), which refrained from direct appointment of the regency as it was considered to have not been in compliance with the laws of the kingdom; the Regency was appointed by declaration of Duc d'Angoulême (25 May 1823) and solemnly installed at the ceremony in the Real Palacio (26 May 1823); governed in the name of Fernando VII recognized as sovereign retained in captivity by the revolutionary forces (in Seville until 12 Jun 1823; in San Fernando [Isla de León, an island near Cádiz] 15 Jun 1823 - 1 Oct 1823); appointed the ministry (decrees of 26 May 1823 and 27 May 1823); exercised the functions of provisional head of state until Fernando VII was permitted to abandon San Fernando after the defeat of the liberal forces; president of the Regency, Duque del Infantado, met the king in person at Puerto de Santa María (1 Oct 1823), thus effectively ending the term of the Regency; official proclamation on transferring the supreme authority to the "sacred hands of our King" ("á las sagradas manos de nuestro Rey") was published on 7 Oct 1823 in Gaceta de Madrid.
