		The Mutiny of Aranjuez, or Motín de Aranjuez as it is known in Spain, was an early 19th century popular uprising against king Charles IV, which managed to overthrow him and place his son, Ferdinand VII on the throne.
		The mutiny was initially directed towards the Prime Minister, or valido, of Charles IV, Manuel de Godoy.
		The uprising itself occurred on the 17th of March, 1808 in the town of Aranjuez, about 48 km south of Madrid, where the royal family and the government were installed at the time.

	Madrid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the Mutiny of Aranjuez, which was led by his own son Fernando VII against him, Carlos IV resigned, but Fernando VII's reign would be short: in May of 1808 Napoleon's troops entered the city.
		On May 2, 1808 (Spanish: Dos de Mayo) the Madrilenes revolted against the French forces, whose brute reaction would have a lasting impact on French rule in Spain and France's image in Europe in general.
		Other nearby towns are popular as day trips from Madrid, including Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, Aranjuez, Alcalá de Henares, the monastery and palace complex of El Escorial, and Chinchón.
