Catalonian Revolt, or Catalonian Civil War of 1462–72
The Catalonian Civil War, also called the War against John II, is a civil war in the Principality of Catalonia between 1462 and 1472.
The two factions, the royalists who support John II of Aragon and the Catalan constitutionalists (Catalanists, pactists, and foralists), dispute the extent of royal rights in Catalonia.
The French enter the war at times on the side on John II and at times with the Catalans.
The Catalans, who at first rally around John's son Charles of Viana, set up several pretenders in opposition to John during the course of the conflict.
Barcelona remains their stronghold to the end: with its surrender the war comes to a close.
John, victorious, re-establishes the status quo ante.
