- Removal of Esquilache.
- Exile he and his family.
- The rulers were of the kingdom.
- Freedom in the dress.
- governor of Castilla cessation.
- Walloon Guard Out of Madrid.
- Sale price of staples.
- That the King be shown publicly.
Carlos III had to accept this in writing, but that night the royal family he went to Aranjuez. The riot rose to be the city without a king and retained the chairman of the Council of Castile. This was forced to sign a document addressed to the king in the calling to return to the city and asked for their perdón.El monarch accepted the condition of disarmament and the rebels laid down their arms.
But what happened next?
Esquilache was exiled to Naples and unpopular edict was annulled on the dress. Carlos III took nearly 8 months to return to Madrid, meanwhile the Count of Aranda was in charge of turning the city into a place almost militarized.
Really the main cause of the riot was the edict on the dress? Or really was the hunger and discontent?
Perhaps the fact that Esquilache attempt to control the dress of the locals, it was just the straw that broke the camels back, as prices, bad economy and citizens' dissatisfaction with the foreign served as a breeding ground for the rebels.
finish picking one of the placards against Esquilache:
"had to be Italian,
there goes without pretense,
which mules and mules
got to have Highness
and has his head
in Hispanic butts "
