, See also:Spanish Carlist See also:general, was See also:born at Ormaiztegui in See also:Navarre on the 29th of See also:December 1788
.
His See also:father, Francisco See also:Antonio See also:Zumalacarregui, was a lawyer who possessed some See also:property, and the son was articled to a See also:solicitor
.
When the See also:French invasion took See also:place in 18o8 he enlisted at See also:Saragossa
.
He served in the first See also:siege, at the See also:battle of See also:Tudela, and during the second siege until he was taken prisoner in a sortie
.
He succeeded in escaping and in reaching his See also:family in Navarre
.
For a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time he served with Gaspar de See also:Jauregui, known as" The Shepherd " (El Pastor), one of the See also:minor guerrillero leaders
.
But Zumalacarregui, who was noted for his See also:grave .and silent disposition and his strong religious principles, disliked the disorderly See also:life of the guerrillas, and when See also:regular forces were organized in the See also:north he entered the 1st See also:battalion of See also:Guipuzcoa as an officer
.
During the See also:remainder of the See also:war he served in the regular See also:army
.
In 1812 he was sent with despatches to the Regency at See also:Cadiz, and received his See also:commission as See also:captain
.
In that See also:rank he was See also:present at the battle of See also:San Marcial (31st of See also:August 1813)
.
After the restoration of See also:Ferdinand VII. he continued in the army, and is said to have made a careful study of the theory of war
.
Zumalacarregui had no sympathy with the liberal principles which were spreading in See also:Spain, and became noted as what was called a Servil or strong Royalist
.
He attracted no See also:attention at headquarters, and was still a captain when the revolution of 1820 See also:broke out
.
His See also:brother See also:officers, whose leanings were liberal, denounced him to the revolutionary See also:government, and asked that the might be removed
.
The recommendation was not acted on, but Zumalacarregui knew of it, and laid up the

offence in his mind
.
Finding that he was suspected (probably with truth) of an intention to bring the soldiers over to the royalist See also:side, he escaped to See also:France
.
In 1823 he returned as an officer in one of the royalist regiments which had been organized on French See also:soil by the consent of the government
.
He was now known as a thoroughly trustworthy servant of the despotic See also:royalty, but he was too proud to be a courtier
.
For some years he was employed in bringing regiments which the government distrusted to See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")

.
He became See also:lieutenant-See also:colonel in 1825 and colonel in 1829
.
In 1832 he was named military See also:governor of See also:Ferrol
.
Before Ferdinand VII. died in 1833, Zumalacarregui was marked out as a natural supporter of the absolutist party which favoured the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

.
The See also:proclamation of the king's daughter See also:Isabella as heiress was almost the occasion of an armed conflict between him and the See also:naval authorities at Ferrol, who were partisans of the constitutional cause
.
He was put on See also:half pay by the new authorities and ordered to live under See also:police observation at See also:Pamplona
.
When the Carlist rising began on the See also:death of Ferdinand he is said to have held back because he knew that the first leaders would be politicians and talkers
.
He did not take the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

field till the Carlist cause appeared to be at a very See also:low ebb, and until he had received a commission from Don Carlos as See also:commander-in-See also:chief in Navarre
.
The whole force under his orders when he escaped from Pamplona on the See also:night of the 29th of See also:October 1833, and took the command next See also:day in the Val de Araquil, was a few See also:hundred See also:ill-armed and dispirited guerrilleros
.
In a few months Zumalacarregui had organized the Carlist forces into a regular army
.
The difficulty he found in obtaining supplies was very See also:great, for the See also:coast towns—and notably See also:Bilbao—were constitutional in politics
.
It was mainly by captures from the government troops that he equipped his forces
.
He gradually obtained full See also:possession of Navarre and the Basque provinces, outside of the fortresses, which he had not the means to besiege
.
Whether as a guerrillero See also:leader, or as a general conducting regular war in the mountains, he proved unconquerable
.
By See also:July 1834 he had made it safe for Don Carlos to jcin his headquarters
.
The pretender was, however, a narrow-minded, bigoted See also:man, who regarded Zumalacarregui with suspicion, and was afraid of his immense See also:personal See also:influence with the soldiers.Zumalacarregui had therefore to See also:drag behind him the whole See also:weight of the distrust and intrigues of the See also:court
.
Yet by the beginning of See also:June 1835 he had made the Carlist cause triumphant to the north of the See also:Ebro, and had formed an army of more than 30,000 men, of much better quality than the constitutional forces
.
If Zumalacarregui had been allowed to follow his own plans, which were to concentrate his forces and See also:march on See also:Madrid, he might well have put Don Carlos in possession of the See also:capital
.
But the court was eager to obtain command of a seaport, and Zumaiacarregui was ordered to besiege Bilbao
.
He obeyed reluctantly, and on the 14th of June 1835 was wounded by a See also:musket See also:bullet in. the See also:calf of the See also:leg
.
The See also:wound was trifling and would probably have been cured with ease if he had been allowed to employ an See also:English See also:doctor whom he trusted
.
But Don Carlos insisted on sending his own physicians, and in their hands the general died on the 24th of June 1835—not without suspicion of See also:poison
.
Zumalacarregui was a See also:fine type of the old royalist and religious principles of his See also:people
.
The ferocity with which he conducted the war was forced on him by the government generals, who refused See also:quarter
