church where Marshal Prim's See also:body See also:lay in See also:state. His efforts as constitutional king were paralysed by the rivalry between the various Spanish factions, but with the approval of his See also:father he rejected all See also:idea of a coup d'etat. Though warned of a plot: against his life (See also:August 18, 1872) he refused to take precautions, and, while returning from Buen. Retiro to Madrid in See also:company with the See also:queen, was repeatedly shot at in Via Avenal. The royal See also:carriage was struck by several revolver and See also:rifle bullets, the horses wounded, but its occupants escaped unhurt. A See also:period of See also:calm followed the See also:outrage. On the rith of See also:February 1873, however, Amedeo, abandoned by his partisans and attacked more fiercely than ever by his opponents, signed his See also:abdication. Upon returning to Italy he was cordially welcomed and reinstated in his former position.
