Pelayos was a Spanish paramilitary youth organization of the Carlist political party Traditionalist Communion during the Second Spanish Republic.

History

Pelayos was founded by the Carlist movement of Spain during the early 1930s.[1][2][3] The group was named after Pelagius of Córdoba (known as "Pelayo" in Spanish) who was killed as a martyr in 926AD.[3] Members of Pelayos were given pre-military training and indoctrinated into the Carlist beliefs.[3] During the Spanish Civil War, the magazine Pelayos (es) was created to spread Carlist values among Spanish youths.[3]

Song of the Pelayos

Pelayos in 1936.
Somos niños los Pelayos
mas seremos sin tardar
los soldados más valientes
que a su Patria salvarán.[3]
We are children, the Pelayos
We will be without delay
The very valiant soldiers
That save their Fatherland.
