Muyren los traydors! Factions struggles in Tarragona at the end of XIVth Century

The initial relationship of the collaboration between kings and archbishops at the height of the lordship of Tarragona, soon gave way to the first stages of tension and confrontation, which deteriorated or improved depending on the circumstances at that time. Disagreements peaked during the last few decades of the reign of Peter the Ceremonious, who just like his son John, and with the support of a league of citizens motivated by the Crown itself, endeavoured to transform the city into an exclusive Crown property. This situation was welcomed neither by some in the clergy nor by a group of neighbours, who claimed adamantly the dominion of the prelate. This resulted in a number of serious conflicts amongst factions, which maintained a firm commitment to taking over the political control of the city and prominently to end the shared authority, which in the face of the many attempts, was not achieved until several centuries later. Thus, I am putting forward a proposal which aims to reconstruct and study the various episodes still unknown to a large number of historians by using a combination of historical documents of the city and several unpublished legal proceedings.
