Count of Urgell's revolt

The Count of Urgell's revolt was a military uprising led by James II, Count of Urgell against king Ferdinand I of Aragón in June 1413 as a result of the disagreement with the result of the Compromise of Caspe, to which James presented himself as a candidate to succeed the king of Aragón Martin I, in which the final decision of the delegates, made public on June 28 of the previous year, was not favorable.

The scenes of the uprising were the outskirts of Huesca, with the Loarre castle as the main square defended by Antón de Luna; the surroundings of Buñol, fortress belonging to the count of Urgell and Balaguer, the capital of his county.

The armed uprising, which only saw isolated episodes, was suppressed at its bases, laying siege to these three enclaves, without the rebellious troops being able to connect or generate significant adhesions, contrary to what the Count of Urgell expected; James of Urgell's initial attempt to lay siege to Lérida from his base in Balaguer at the end of June 1413 was rejected within a few days. It did not endanger the monarch nor did any major social disorders occur among the population. Due to the limited support of the nobility (the only class from which the count's cause could expect support) and through the troops summoned by the kingdoms and the principality of the Crown of Aragon, the rebellion was put down on October 31, when James II surrendered the fortress and was captured.
