King Abdicates Spain For Crown, Names Heir Don Lewis
A letter from Madrid dated January 15 1924 reports King Philip the Fifth renounces the Spanish throne in favor of his eldest son Don Lewis sworn Prince of Spain and resigns to retire with the Queen to St Ildefonso to serve God. The move includes a royal circular appointing officials and detailing pensions and reversion rights as the council prepares to publish the renunciation throughout the kingdom. The document notes the king’s mortality concerns, the need to relieve poverty, and limits on royal revenue farms.
