Abstract

The frontier land between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon in teh south-east of the península, has always been coveted by the nobles of both kingdoms. At the beginning of the XVth e., a growing legal uncertainly appeared as regards who it belonged to, due to the impredictability of Juan II of Castile, who granted and dispossessed it and even gave it to others nobles without having declared the previous transfer invalid. The most controversial moment took palce with the “Pacheco”, Juan and his son Diego. The latter, after the land had gone back to the crown in 1476, insisted all his life on his demand for it claiming that the “Reyes Católicos” had seriously failed to fulfill the agreement signed with them. Their heirs kept on demanding the ownership until the second half of the XVth e., and the even tried to buy the city of Villena or, if it were not possible, the city of Chinchilla, in order to justify the title of marquis
