Valencia

The Kingdom of Valencia was a realm of the Crown of Aragon on the eastern coast of Iberia, established after the conquest of Valencia in 1238. Its own charters, the Furs, gave it institutions and considerable self-government under the Aragonese kings.

In 1519 the armed guilds of Valencia began the Revolt of the Brotherhoods against Charles I's government; the rebels also forcibly converted Muslims before their defeat. After the War of the Spanish Succession, Philip V abolished Valencia's laws and institutions in 1707 through the Nueva Planta decrees.
