This article examines the activities of Bernard Renau d’Éliçagaray a French naval officer and engineer, taking them as a model for all those who, whilst in an intermediate administrative role, carried out fieldwork to rapidly and securely enthrone the Bourbons in Spain. His mission was to ensure that the new dynasty was established peacefully, but failing that, his extensive knowledge of the main ports’ and fortifications’ defences would help to resist the onslaught by those who questioned Philip V’s legitimacy.Downloads
