The son of dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera, who governed Spain from 1923-1930, Jose Antonio was shot by firing squad in November 1936 by left-wing Republican forces in Alicante.In 1939, after having lain in two different mass graves in Alicante, his coffin was paraded 500 kilometers from the eastern coastal city to San Lorenzo de El Escorial, a town near Madrid where Spain’s royals are buried.
Franco, a conservative general, and Primo de Rivera, a flamboyant playboy, had little love for each other, according to Francos’s biographer Paul Preston.
