A person who supported the Carlist movement in Spain, or more generally, someone with traditional, conservative, or reactionary political views.
From Spanish 'Carlos' (Charles) plus '-ist' (suffix meaning 'follower of'). Refers to supporters of Don Carlos and his heirs' claim to the Spanish throne, creating a distinct political identity.
Carlists were so politically organized that they even created their own military units and local governments in regions they controlled—they were essentially Spain's longest-running civil conflict before the famous 1936 war.
