Una parte importante de esta caracterización regia se debe a la estrategia propagandística promovida por Antonio Cánovas del Castillo y por los círculos alfonsinos, a lo que se sumó un acontecimiento relevante con consecuencias muy positivas para la monarquía alfonsina: el fin de la guerra carlista (1872- 1876). En este artículo se trata de dilucidar cuáles fueron las circunstancias en que se fraguó la imagen de Alfonso XII como �rey soldado�, así como mostrar algunos elementos de los mecanismos propagandísticos que contribuyeron a resaltar dicha caracterización legitimadora hasta el punto de que esta lograra enraizar en el imaginario colectivo. Para ello se contrastan varios tipos de fuentes primarias: documentación archivística, prensa y representaciones poéticas e iconográficas, primordialmente.Universidad de Oviedo: Area de Derecho ConstitucionalCentro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales2010text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=3291785(Revista) ISSN 1576-4729Historia constitucional: Revista Electrónica de Historia Constitucional, ISSN 1576-4729, Nº. 11, 2010, pags. 47-75spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
