Catalonia coins catalog with values
In 1035, Ramon Berenguer I became Count of
Barcelona.
During his reign, the codification of Catalan law began. In the
early twelfth century, under his grandson Ramon Berenguer III,
the name "Catalonia" appeared in documents for the first time.
In the same XII century, as a result of a dynastically favorable
alliance between Count Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona and
Petronila of Aragon, the Kingdom of Aragon began to form.
The marriage of Ferdinand II of
Aragon and
Isabella of
Castile initiated the formation of the
Kingdom of
Spain, which took shape around 1516. For nearly two
centuries, Castile and Aragon retained their rights and
freedoms: political organization, laws, courts, and minted their
own currency. Catalonia had one of the first parliaments in
Europe, the Catalan Cortes.
Philip II (King of Spain from 1556 to 1598) was the first to
fight Catalonia's autonomy. Philip ignored the decision of the
Cortes, imposed additional taxes on the population and even
executed representatives of some Aragonese noble families.
In 1640-1652, the first major Catalan revolt against royal
absolutism took place - the Reaper Rebellion or "War of the
Reapers". For the first time slogans about the separation of
Catalonia from Spain were heard. The reason for the war was the
desire of Philip IV to eliminate the autonomy of Catalonia. The
rebels resisted for many years with the support of the King of
France. Under the protectorate of Louis XIII, the Catalan
Republic was proclaimed. But the victory could not be
maintained. In 1652, the Spanish king's army captured Catalonia.
