Francesc De Verntallat
Francesc de Verntallat (Sant Privat d'en Bas, 1426 or 1428 - Sant Feliu de Pallerols, 1498 or 1499) was a Catalan nobleman who captained the Remensa Army in the War of the Remences, a conflict overshadowed by the Catalan Civil War. For this reason, de Verntallat was recompensed by King John II of Aragon, who named de Verntallat viscount of Hostoles. De Verntallat was a member of the Catalan lower noble class. During the Second War of the Remences, de Verntallat stayed by the margins, representing moderate Remences who wished to solve the conflict through the avenue of mediation by the Catalan-Aragonese monarchy, which ultimately was produced by the ''Sentencia Arbitral de Guadalupe'' issued in 1486 by King Ferdinand II of Aragon. When the Catalan Civil War broke out between the Generalitat and John II of Aragon "the Great", the lower nobility stood on the side of the King, who took the contact which was among the remensa peasantry and the gentlemen to bring to their cause the who ...

Catholic Monarchs
The Catholic Monarchs were Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, whose marriage and joint rule marked the ''de facto'' unification of Spain. They were both from the House of Trastámara and were second cousins, being both descended from John I of Castile; to remove the obstacle that this consanguinity would otherwise have posed to their marriage under canon law, they were given a papal dispensation by Sixtus IV. They married on October 19, 1469, in the city of Valladolid; Isabella was eighteen years old and Ferdinand a year younger. It is generally accepted by most scholars that the unification of Spain can essentially be traced back to the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella. Spain was formed as a dynastic union of two crowns rather than a unitary state, as Castile and Aragon remained separate kingdoms until the Nueva Planta decrees of 1707–16. The court of Ferdinand and Isabella was constantly on the move, in order to bolster local support for the c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Evil Customs
Evil customs (Catalan: ''mals usos'', lit. "bad uses") were specific medieval feudal customs, generally levies, which peasants were subjected to by their Feudal lordship, feudal lords in the Crown of Aragon and other European countries. These obligations are related to the ''Ius Maletractandi'', a right approved by the Catalan Court of 1358, which empowered the feudal lords to treat their people in ways later considered unjust. Catalonia In the Principality of Catalonia, the population was controlled by the feudal nobility and a number of benefits were established that would later be considered evil customs. The customs were most often found in relation to the land of the so-called Old Catalonia. The ties of the peasant to the land he worked required him to pay a redemption if he wanted to leave it. The Usages of Barcelona collected only three of the most common obligations: the , and . The evil customs with the possibility of being redeemed paying a tribute to the lord in the ...

Pere Joan Sala
Pere Joan Sala (died 1485) was the leader of the radical remensas in the Second War of the Remences, which began with the uprising of Mieres in 1484. Joan Sala was the lieutenant of Francesc de Verntallat, but unlike the latter, Joan Sala was a radical revolutionary who wasn't interested in any treaty with royalty. The Second War of the Remences was motivated by attempted legal action against the assets of the peasants who refused to pay the manorial fees. Additionally, there was an alignment of interests and support between the remensas during the first War of the Remences and King John II in the Catalan Civil War. They were aligned both in time (1462-1472) and in their adversary: the Generalitat and the nobility. However, at the end of the Catalan civil war, the king pretty much forgot about the remensas. The tried to curb the revolt without success, and the conflict spread throughout the Principality of Catalonia. In 1485 in Montornès del Vallès, at the head of 400 p ...
