Notes

1. General Ricardo Wall y Devereux's diplomatic mission to London was for negotiating peace between the Bourbons and Great Britain but ran into difficulties partly because of reservations in British ministerial quarters about his Irish and Jacobite roots. He later served as Prime Minister of Spain.^[4]
