In the final years of the war of spanish sucession all the potencies in Europe were eager to sign the peace, wich was concluded in favour of the United Kingdom by the treaty of Ultrecht (1713), but in Spain a point of conflict remained: Catalonia, a region which had always been independent from the crown and sided with the autrians and England still fought in an attempt to preserve his rights and liberties. This are some of the regiments that took part in that final struggle of the war which ended with the surrender of Barcelona, the catalan capital (1714) and the loss of their freedom.
