Catalonia
The Principality of Catalonia grew from the County of Barcelona in northeastern Iberia. Its rulers entered a dynastic union with Aragon in 1137, while Catalonia retained its own laws and institutions.
Civil war weakened Catalonia in 1462–1472. The Reapers’ War began in 1640 amid resistance to royal troops, and the Treaty of the Pyrenees ceded Roussillon to France in 1659. Barcelona fell to Philip V in 1714; the Nueva Planta decree abolished Catalan institutions in 1716.
