Abstract

In January 1460, King John II of Aragon imprisoned Prince Charles of Viana, his first-born son. This acted as a catalyst, increasing tension between the monarchy and the public institutions of Catalonia (Diputació del General and Consell de Cent), representing the battle between two different ways of seeing politics: growing royal authoritarianism versus an institutional oligarchy which showed strict respect for Catalan laws and compelled the king to obey the law to the letter. The institutions secured the release of Charles, Prince of Viana, and forced the king to approve the Capitulació de Vilafranca. The oligarchy built up a legend around Prince Charles of Viana who remained a celebrated hero in peoples minds.
