Footnote: The Order of St. Ferdinand was established in recognition of the military personnel who participated in the Peninsular War against Napoleonic army. It was mainly conferred upon European royalist armies from Spain, Great Britain, Portugal, and France. This version was specially conferred upon the French army of the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis who helped the Spanish Royalists to restore the reign of King Ferdinand VII of Spain. The French army mobilized in 1823 by the Bourbon King of France, Louis XVIII; it was a force with around 60,000 troops led by the Duke of Angoulême.
