 Prime Minister of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prime Minister, or President of the Government (Spanish: Presidente del Gobierno), of Spain is the Spanish head of government, but not the head of state, which is the King.
Literally translated, this title is "President of the Government", but nevertheless the office-holder is commonly referred to in English as the "prime minister": the usual term for the head of government in a constitutional monarchy.
Thus, for example, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the Primer Ministro del Reino Unido, not the Presidente del Gobierno.

To this day, critics contend that Spanish voters did not hand a victory to the terrorists when they flocked in record numbers to the polls to vote Aznar out of office.

One motivation is that history is often not taught anymore in terms of dynasties and rulers, since this is thought (by an academic elite comfortably supported by the taxpayers) to be too elitist and too removed from the life of the people.
The arrangement of these lists thus follows Bryce's principle of universalist ideology, centering on Rome but extending to similar to ideas outside of the Roman world.
The systematic treatment is as follows in the list below, but the list in the box at right simply gives the actual internet files in which basic historical material, with lists and genealogies, is contained.
