The Tumult of Aranjuez (Spanish: Motín de Aranjuez), also known as the Mutiny of Aranjuez, was an uprising against Prime Minister Manuel Godoy and Charles IV of Spain that took place in the town of Aranjuez on 17–19 March 1808. It was instigated by disgruntled citizens and the supporters of Charles's son Ferdinand VII. Celebrated annually in the first week of September, the event led to the fall of Godoy and abdication of Charles IV and the subsequent accession of Ferdinand VII. It is celebrated in September rather than in March as the revived celebrations in Aranjuez that began in 1988 were added on top of pre-existing September festivals.
