	Miguel de Alava - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Don Miguel Ricardo de Alava, Marquess of Alava (1770-1843) was a Spanish General and statesman.
		On the restoration of Ferdinand, Alava was cast into prison, but the influence of his uncle Ethenard, the inquisitor, and of Wellington secured his speedy release.
		When the French invested Cadiz, Alava was commissioned by the Cortes to treat with the Duc d'Angoulême, and the negotiations resulted in the restoration of Ferdinand, who pledged himself to a liberal policy.
