摘要：This research aims to approach Fernando VII’s Urban Militia Volunteers in Mexico City, firstly as shock troops in the coup of September 16, 1808 and two years later as a safe keeper in the viceregal capital until its dissolution on the eve of Mexican independence. Thanks to unpublished primary sources we have been able to delve into the life of this controversial military body marked by scandals and serious internal problems and discover if it really was the bulwark of the capital and the credibility of the kingdom as Viceroy Calleja, his colonel, intended.
