Cabrera, Ramón, conde de Morella, 1806-77, Spanish Carlist general. Noted for his valor and cruelty during the first Carlist war (see
Carlists), he refused to accept the Carlist defeat in 1839 and continued the war in Valencia and Catalonia until driven into France in 1840. After a brief reappearance (1848-49) as the leader of Carlist guerrillas in Catalonia, he returned to France and then went to England. In 1875 he recognized
Alfonso XII as king.
