There is a monument in Castellón that commemorates a forgotten battle that marked the history of the region, whose history dates back to the beginning of the 16th century. Charles V arrived in Spain in 1517 to take possession of the inheritance of his grandparents, the Catholic Monarchs.
Charles was a young inexperienced king, educated in Flanders, who did not know the languages or the particularities of the peninsular kingdoms he was supposed to govern. This lack of knowledge, added to the fact that in the first years of his reign Charles was more attentive to what was happening in Europe than to his peninsular kingdoms, made him negligent in the governance of these territories.
This neglect ended up triggering two major revolts: the comuneros in Castile and the agermanats in the Kingdom of Valencia. Both revolts were direct consequences of the poor initial management of the young monarch.
