The article on Carlos IV gives the date of his abdication as a week earlier, March 19. 1808, of which this year is the bicentennial, was certainly an eventful and even confusing year for Europe's monarchies, what with Carlos IV's abdication, the coincidental death around the same time of Denmark's Christian VII, and the switch of Napoleon's brother Joseph from Naples to Spain. While determining the precise chronology probably requires more sophisticated sources than Wikipedia, we can be sure that when the year began, Carlos IV was King of Spain, Christian VII was King of Denmark, and Joseph Bonaparte was [de facto] King of Naples; when it ended, Joseph Bonaparte was [de facto, sort of] King of Spain, Frederik VI was King of Denmark, and Joachim Murat was [de facto] King of Naples.
