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. The group was named after Pelagius of Córdoba (known as "Pelayo" in Spanish) who was killed as a martyr in 926AD. Members of Pelayos were given pre-military training and indoctrinated into the Carlist beliefs. During the Spanish Civil War, the magazine Pelayos (es) was created to spread Carlist values among Spanish youths.
