Only in March 1821 was Naples occupied by Austrian troops who re-established the Bourbon absolutist monarchy and Ferdinand withdrew the constitution.
August 1820: In July 1820 a military revolt broke out under General Guglielmo Pepe, and Ferdinand was terrorised into signing a constitution on the model of the Spanish Constitution of 1812.
