Revolt Of The Comuneros
The Revolt of the Comuneros ( es, Guerra de las Comunidades de Castilla, "War of the Communities of Castile") was an uprising by citizens of Castile against the rule of Charles I and his administration between 1520 and 1521. At its height, the rebels controlled the heart of Castile, ruling the cities of Valladolid, Tordesillas, and Toledo. The revolt occurred in the wake of political instability in the Crown of Castile after the death of Queen Isabella I in 1504. Isabella's daughter Joanna succeeded to the throne. Due to Joanna's mental instability, Castile was ruled by the nobles and her father, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, as a regent, while Joanna was confined.

Charles had been raised in the Netherlands with little knowledge of Castili ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nuño Rasura
Nuño Rasura was one of two legendary judges of County of Castile, Castile, the other being his son-in-law Laín Calvo. According to the ''Mocedades de Rodrigo'', Nuño gained the nickname "Rasura" because "he took from Castile equal measures of wheat" to offer as a gift to Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Church of Saint James. English medievalist Richard A. Fletcher writes that "the legend of the judges has more to tell us of the Castilians' self-image at a later date than of the realities of the ninth century: they liked to think of themselves as sturdy, independent, resourceful, democratic." The twelfth-century ''Liber regum'' and the ''Poema de Fernán González'' report that at the end of the ninth century reign of Alfonso II of Asturias (died 842), two judges were named to administer and defend the newly repopulating region that would become Castile. Nuño and Laín are described by the ''Poema'' as ancestors, respectively, of Castilian heroes Fernán González of Cast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
