| Monumento de Victoria Eugenia y Alfonso XIII - Cathedral de la Almudena. The Morral affair was the attempted regicide of Spanish King Alfonso XIII and his bride, Queen Victoria Eugenie, on their wedding day, May 31, 1906, and its subsequent effects. The attacker, Mateu Morral, acting on a desire to spur revolution, threw a bomb concealed in a floral bouquet from a Madrid hotel window as the King`s procession passed, killing 24 bystanders and soldiers, wounding over 100 others, and leaving the royals unscathed. |
