Print, Juan, Marshal (1814-70), was born at Reuss, in Catalonia. He distinguished himself in the first Carlist War as a supporter of the Regent Christina, and when peace was made became the leading opponent of Espartero, whom in 1843 he drove from the capital. He then became governor of Madrid, but was displaced and imprisoned by Narvaez. After his achievements in Morocco he was created Marquis de los Castillejos. In 1868, having assisted in the overthrow of Isabella, he became Minister of War. He procured the election of the Duke of Aosta to the Spanish throne, but was immediately afterwards assassinated by the Carlists.
