Galicia

Galicia was a kingdom in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, with Santiago de Compostela as its capital. It had belonged to the Crown of Castile since 1230.

In 1467–1469 the Great Brotherhood rose against Galician nobles and destroyed about 130 castles and forts before its defeat. Galicia retained a representative assembly under the Castilian and Spanish crowns; during the Napoleonic invasion the assembly briefly claimed sovereignty. The kingdom and its assembly were dissolved in 1834.
