Abstract
Rodrigo Caballero Illanes se presenta,
en palabras de Henry Kamen, como uno
de los constructores de la supremacía
borbónica en España. Este periodo en
la ciudad de Cádiz fue fundamental en
el devenir de la carrera profesional de
Rodrigo Caballero coincidiendo con la
Guerra de Sucesión Española. Caballero
logró comprar una regiduría perpetua en
el ayuntamiento de Cádiz, y más tarde,
la alcaldía mayor de la ciudad. Durante
la guerra Rodrigo Caballero levantó un
regimiento de veteranos de 570 soldados
siendo premiado por Felipe V con el grado
de coronel de infantería. Igualmente, la
averiguación de un intento de rapto de
la familia real por parte de un grupo de
colaboradores imperiales propició que
Felipe V, en agradecimiento, lo nombrara
Alcalde del Crimen de la Audiencia de
Sevilla, e intermediara para la liberación
de su hijo natural Rodrigo Caballero, el
manco capturado por el ejército portugués
