| description | The public image of King Ferdinand VII (1784-1833) was built through a process of exaltation and sacralization as a result of the Napoleonic invasion of the Iberian Peninsula that started in the fall of 1807. This article tackles the mechanisms put in place in order to achieve such a target. It also unravels the ways in which wide sectors of the Catholic clergy collaborated in the identification of the King’s image with that of the Spanish nation in danger. The text also sheds light on the American dimensions of the divinization of kingship and their limits in a period of rapid and violent change in the colonies. | La imagen pública del rey Fernando VII (1784-1833) fue sometida a un proceso de exaltación y sacralización a raíz de la invasión napoleónica de la Península Ibérica iniciada en el otoño de 1807. Este artículo aborda los mecanismos que se emplearon para lograr dicho objetivo y la plena colaboración de amplios sectores del clero para identificar al rey con la nación en peligro. El texto vierte luz sobre las dimensiones americanas de dicho fenómeno de divinización regia y sus limitaciones en un periodo de rápido y violento cambio en las colonias. |
