Summary: Andrés Ángel de la Vega Infanzón has long been an intriguing character due to significant gaps in his time as deputy for Asturias in the Cortes de Cádiz. Jovellanos's influence in his education and in shaping his thinking has given him virtually unconditional credibility, both in his own time and throughout history. A convinced anglophile, Vega's political affiliation has been traditionally labelled with the term "liberal". This essay traces the character's public career and revisits his political stance in the light of the little known documents which he bequeathed to his English friend Charles Vaughan. It also draws on partly unpublished material from Vega's main British correspondents in the Peninsula.
