el choricero de la corte 12
This appellation was applied to two distinct characters in the reign of Charles IV. The people of Madrid named Godoy, prime minister and favorite of the king and above all, according to the bad tongues, of the queen. Apparently, also because he was from Extremadura, where there are good chorizos. Hated by the people, he was dismissed after the Mutiny of Aranjuez. The latest studies seem to be rehabilitative. The other Choricero was the Eric Uncle of Candelario (Salamanca) whom the king named "supplier of the royal house" when he was casually found on a day of hunting. The sausages of Candelario were then recognized in the Court and throughout Madrid.
