By this part, We continue with austracistas Banyeres suffered raids during the War of Succession, dedicated to the events without an appointed day trying to unveil its approximate time, accompanied with some events that pertained to Banyeres at the time in question.

As it has been exposing, Bocairent was declared austracista from the 21 from December to 1705, until the 21 August 1707 (20 months). The uprising that kept this population against Felipe V, It was not away with him in the negotiated surrender of the place, because at the entrance of the Bourbon troops he saw expenditure as punishment. This emerges from a seat that is in the "Llibre de Clavaria" which hosts the year 1707 (WITH), It is listed as follows:

“/ (p. 0199) Ittem He admits in descarrech twenty September the free four sous and six paying Juan Belda Peter and son tale thirty four doblones that DEXA to this villa pear pay contribution when joining the troops of Mr. Philip V. It abalbara made the Writing in 9 September 1707 = 27L 4S 6”

Such amount exposed in the text, It was a part of how much to pay, to which the Repartimiento several contributions for the year 1707 (0001-02; WITH), a relationship of 176 names which it is what the "/(p. 005) Deven memory in the Repartimiento Six hundred ninety six doubloons that gave the common one of this Villa to Dn Joseph de chaves Brigadier Lord Felipe fifth and instead the Count of cherni by… "Likewise, days later he was imposed a new payment, as in this Repartimiento several contributions of the same year, there is another relationship adjacent the front of 103 names that make up the "/(p. 012) Deven memory of the Repartimiento Three hundred seventy four doubloons that the inobediencia gave this Villa the Lord Bishop of Cartagena (Belluga)…"Each of the two neighbors listed in" Memoirs ", it comprises a different monetary amount.

PHOTOGRAPHY 1: Illustration Historicista s. XIX, in which it represents the proclamation of Archduke Carlos III. Anglo-Dutch squadron departed in July 1705 from Lisbon, the 16 August anchored in Denia eight ships and three smaller vessels, others continuing to Catalonia. The fleet moored in Denia landed soldiers under the command of Juan Bautista Basset, to manage the delivery of the city having assembled the general council and being all agree with Governor, it was decided to admit them doors and hand over the keys to the city and castle, I proving easy to British also landed the next day accompanied by Archduke, He is crowned the same day in the parish church of Santa María, as King of Spain with the name of Carlos III, Then the Te Deum was sung in the main square of the city, amid the pealing of bells and gun salutes. Juan Bautista Basset well is appointed by the Archduke as commanding general of the Kingdom of Valencia, as a connoisseur of language and country. Basset was the main leader of the revolt in Valencia.

In 1713 the population was bocairentina 1579 people.1 If we assume that for the year in question (1707), that figure could represent the mismamente, perhaps with a minimum swing, while considering the number of constituent family in a house, reverberated for an average of four people, as it would approximate result of 395 heads of families. Which would suggest that the number composing the aforementioned "Memoirs", not all were forced to make payments. With what could correspond as happened in other towns, its population were divided as postulating by either party, to which were austracistas who had to go into exile from their land confiscating their property, to reward residents who had been loyal to the victor. But in the case of Bocairent by the capitulations it did not happen, respecting their haciendas as we have seen, but not some neighbors stopped paying certain fines.

PHOTOGRAPHY 2: Banner of arms of King Philip V. King Philip the Fair was I who in 1506, after marrying Queen Joanna I of Castile, Burgundian Guardian introduced the hallmark of his mother's house, Mary of Burgundy, whose patron was San Andrés.

So, in the "Book Chapters and Deliberasions the Clergy; 1609-1798”, we can find the following:

As seen a year earlier, then the components of Bocairent clergy were gathered in the sacristy, It is proposed by Mr.. The Vice Chancellor 100 pounds which gave the bishop of Murcia in Ontinyent for help from 300 doubloons that Villa gives, conformity with what had to pay resolving all agree that taxes charged on called themselves, equally by those Revs residing at that time in said clergy and, that Mr.. Vicar Alfafara also should pay as a sr. Reverend of the aforementioned Villa. It must have been a time when the Villa in question, He reconsidered no longer on the side austracista, also coinciding with what we read in certificatoria, D. Pedro Corbi exposed in our first part, Commenting after the austracista inclusion on 4 Bathtubs in June, who writes: “/(f. 7v) ... and though the enemies remained for some time (Bocairente) They have not forgotten the oxeriza that have taken place against the poor Banieres for the day October 9 ... "Between the time interval expressed by D. Pedro Corbi, coincides with the meeting of the clergy shown Bocairent. Also it can be seen that during this period, Bocairent was guarded by the army austracista, can be found in the Municipal Archives of Agres a note in the Llibre of acts of the Consell, (Sig.: C. 19, c. 1), to date 30 July of the same year, setting out as follows:

"... In the room called Vila pear communicate things is common to those which the melt propasa by this jury in Chief who had a letter from Don Joseph Nicolas Coronel who is in the town of Bocayrent that endure Caught up le gave new cafisos of sivada for horses Sa Magt and now voting in this letter calls for new and So Vigen Vmds that stop them which oyda said preposisio in unanimous and concordant were voting and believe that cervixca Sa Mgt in the cafisos of new sivada now prte (here I'm) and four sen to give the terse denme is taken and that the most enfara pear pear enviarlos time ...

This unprecedented representation of the principal offices of the local administration during the leasehold period, It is in the dressing room room of the monastery of Santa Faz, It is the work of Juan Conchillos Falco in the 2nd half of the seventeenth century.

Intentionality of Bocairent of passing the Bourbons was momentary, for though the ecclesiastical representation so could wish, the authorities bocairentinas (Mayor, justice and juries), austracista defense and not they expressed in the same way, because we have been seeing continued hostilities against Banyeres.

PHOTOGRAPHY 4: James Fitz-James, I Duke Berwick, son of James II of England of the Stuart dynasty – French engraving s. XVIII. The 23 April 1707, two days before the Battle of Almansa, sends a letter from that Villa, to Justice and Juries of the then University of Banieres, in response to an earlier one held a day 21 the same month.

On the issue of Bocairent then declared austracista, We can also observe in the request made by the Mayor of Bocairent Joseph Thomas Belda, Attorney General by the trustee and the trustee Blas Look personero Vicente Galbis, dated 21 November 1769, on the occasion of admitting testimony and witness statements: “/(p. 0910) ... it is true that when they occurred and the torbulencias Gerra This Rn. who had first since the year. mil Setting. six later agreed and camped troops in the term of this dha Villa at beyong the Conto. /(p. 0911) Sn.

In the request the testimony of three witnesses are, of which we expose relevant content entirely at, that of Mathias Belda, involving the Baths, stating as follows:

The troops he could refer the witness statement exposed, They must correspond with respect to the first months of the year 1706, the Legion of Valencia that we mentioned D. Pedro Corbí through his commentary certificatoria, while the end of the same year, Third would be the Portuguese Colonel D. Antonio Couto. We believe such Third, horses and two companies also accompanied them at the time the Colonel commented, It would be too regular army without which there could be of Miqueletes, which would be installed in a relatively small enclosure as was the fortified perimeter presenting Bocairent, so some companies could be installed in the convent. We also believe that the last soldiers, They would not produce any damage to the Convent in question, since there is evidence that the Portuguese who passed through the area, not damaged religious temples.

Having recovered the town of Bocairent by the Bourbon troops to austracistas, Count mahoni he installed in said space, in November of the same year. This emerges from a letter received at Castalla and sent by said Earl from Bocairent, dated 9 November 1707, for granting weapons have and bring the faithful vassals of the places of the Foia of Castalla. (A.M.C. C-576/4 – exp. 4).

Referring to the speech made by the lawyer of Bocairent commented in the previous edition, we continue transcribing point three, which exposes as follows:

“/ (p. 5) ... three of those troops occupied Bocayrente, Hedo which resist Bañeres, by having a very strong Castillo, where his refuge Vezinos, with the weapons they had, bailed, and aided by Don Pedro Corbi, and their militias, They could stay in the domain of your Magsftad, (though so it looks at the Villa de Bañeres, coast cars, and especially as state witnesses presented on the fourth question: Snuggling to her that Don Rafael Nebor, with Cavalleria Regiment, which consisted of three hundred men, Then came the Justice, Juries and Bañeres, and others to the site named Partidor, a quarter of a league distant, and they lent obedience to the Lord Emperor, and all came together in that Villa, where they stayed Regiment, and he remained in it all day, with greater peace, Hazer ostilidad without any, and dusk fu went up taking bagages4 for passar luggage to Bocayrente,) and as being contrary vezinas troops, DEXA already understand, to each other they would try to invade; and that these sets concurriessen Vezinos of Bañeres, and some, or many of Bocayrente, which it is what the other party wants to enforce, could happen, although he refuses; but the truth is, the Villa, or promovio, nor concurred in these operations, and less official could avoid the; being, how was, Troops occupied the Lord Emperor, whether they were ruled, or migaletes, Who could fear more for their usual disorder, efeto as the main government officials said Bocayrente Villa were llavados prisoners in Barcelona, by these troops, and long they remained at Castle Monjui, what it is, and it was well public, and notorious. Aver that failure to cooperate,or busy Bocayrente the villa consists of the probanças given by this, and specialty on prengunta 10. Bañeres nor has proven anything to the contrary, for what their witnesses say more than is, Vezinos of Bocayrente that is avrian found in those functions. "

He explains Francisco Vaño Silvestre in his work "Bocairente during the War of Succession", the 1 March 1706 Rafael Nebot passed by without stopping at Alcira and Játiva, He presented in Fuente la Higuera, to which he surrendered 4 the same month, after dispersing companies Sax, Cieza and Yecla. For it is then that from Fuente la Higuera, Rafael Nebot was due in Banyeres getting As in the story of discourse has exposed.

If the events were as illustrated by the aforementioned lawyer Bocairente, the truth is that not comment on the number of bagages or its contents, neither can the conditions for entry into the town of Banyeres. On the other hand, we must remember that Colonel Rafael Nebot was loyal to
Felipe V until at least November 1705.

PHOTOGRAPHY 5: The victory of the Battle of Almansa will cause numerous laudatory pamphlets were published Felipe V, appeared in Madrid and printed by Antonio Bizarrón. It would included "Relationship of the great victory that got the arms of the King our Lord in the field of Almansa, twenty-fifth day of April in 1700 and seven ", and the "ratio of generals and Portuguese officers prisoners at the Battle of Almansa" contained in the besieged Banyeres Thirds, the 14 November 1706. Valencia library; Signature: XVIII / 2721.

In early September of that year, Field Marshal Luis de Zúñiga who had two cavalry squadrons, He established his headquarters in Oliva, for blocking Denia, placing said Colonel with his regiment of cavalry also Ondara, where he could do some prisoners the 24 the same month. Meanwhile Juan Bautista Basset, being commanding general of the Kingdom of Valencia appointed by Archduke Carlos, and aware of the sympathies of Nebot for the cause of Archduke, he connected with the Catalan boss to join him, he promised the grant great favors on behalf of Carlos III, arranging everything to invade Valencia. Whereupon as he walked with his people Basset Denia, Nebot was pretending to withdraw from Ondara to Oliva, where Luis de Zúñiga and Pedro Corbí and his militia were. Given the proximity of Basset, Zuniga ordered the attack, but soon as envisaged in the heat of battle, Nebot with his regiment was made orders Basset, Zuniga and Corbí being trapped by the treachery of Nebot, what they will not bow nor promises nor threats. To this, Basset was the owner of Oliva 9 from December, seizing Valencia 16 the same month.

To this concept, said Colonel could be to adopt a softer stance as it suited, in the case given by the authorities of Banyeres, They must treat a subtle negotiation. Rafael Nebot, three hundred horses would serve little, Banyeres with its streets being closed, wanting to keep a fight, Banyeres but also it would be dangerous not to avoid confrontation, because otherwise there would have been always possible deaths of either side and, we can also see in the story, It is that on arrival night no austracista spent the night in the vicinity of Banyeres, The less in what "body of the villa" was called.

On the same issue, on the point 7 of the speech reads:

“/(p. 9) …, as came out of Bañeres give obedience, and they entered the Regiment accompanying Nebot with much peace, and the same day that remained housed in Bañeres, then others who were neighbors of this Villa, by aver I had staying at home to these Soldiers, averles dado luggage para passar to Bocayrente; and other averlo heard the same bagageros, Vezinos of Bañeres: Other witnesses to say twenty in number, be public, and notorious in those Villas, and places its outline; and another added the same, that asseguran history of averlo I heard from the bagageros of Bañeres, who accompanied
Soldiers of the Lord Emperor from this villa of Bocayrente:…

In the latter part of the fragment can be read, "The bagageros of Bañeres, who accompanied the soldiers of the Lord Emperor from this villa of Bocayrente ", While it is understood that they were given the agreed supplies and, not their means of transport, which it gives to assume that they came back with them.

The lawyer commented Carlos Dolz speech Castellar, finally expose their point four:

“/(p. 6) Nor doubt ay ... 4, that if the Vezinos of Bañeres suffered any damage from those invasions, he also suffered from Bocayrente, being, how was it, ruined his term, pillaged, and burned houses, and Alquerias, Avia quanto taking them to the village of Bañeres, with cattle of Vezinos of Bocayrente, even the wooden accoutrements, and iron, and others with the quales composed their houses Bañeres, and still maintain some with Rexas, and other gear, they took from those of labrança the end of Bocayrente; As it is well tested on the questions 11. Y 12. and being the greatest damage, they could feel the Bañeres the burning of their houses, it executed the Portuguese troops, On the occasion of wanting to take the Castle, but not the Villa My Party, as is clear from the cars. "

PHOTOGRAPHY 6: Fragment of wall, located between inside housing initial c / Mayor, and the location of Teatro Principal. (Photo taken Program Celebrations in honor of St. Mary Magdalene; July, 1997). From the data obtained to date, said fragment belonged to a wall, Intramural enveloping the new population of Christian settlers after the reconquest, But from the sale of bathtubs, while the gradual growth later had the population, said wall phased out, thus it would not be in full at the time it does not take, remaining fragments up even in the early twentieth century: "At the request of several residents of Main Street and St. James Street denouncing the ruinous state of two walls of the castle owned by Don Jose Segura Domenech, after the report issued by two practices in the absence of other people in this town and not being able to prop up or isolate, It was unanimously agreed to avoid imminent demolition personal risks ... / Minutes of the Municipal Council dated 12 February 1905 " (bathtubs. Geographical and cultural historical study of the Villa. P.: 193).

Truly, Bocairent the opposite of Castle Baths did not have the time that occupies us, because although I had until the end of s. XV, It was destroyed to build the present parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption consecrated in 1516. On the contrary if he held the walled enclosure that surrounded the villa, belonging to the Islamic period, which today pays tribute to the "Tower of the Portuguese", which helped him to be protected during the six days of siege commented in August 1707, thus unlike Banyeres that although in the late Middle Ages maintained a perimeter wall surrounding their homes, in the war in question he was left barely a few stretches of wall standing, so the houses referred to the attorney, They never went to members within the village of Bocairent, what other repeatedly in those affected they were those of the population of Banyeres.

As has been shown, the allegations presented by the lawyer Bocairent D. Carlos Dolz of Castellar, for the establishment of payment of 210 pounds, certainly they not correspond to reality, and wanting to defend unjustified allegations after twenty-one years after King Philip V, Banyeres acquitted of that payment obligation.

Because the austracistas Banyeres suffered raids during the war in question, We conclude exposing the final paragraph concerning Banyeres D, José Manuel Miñana, continued being we opened this paper makes three previous editions, which tells us so:

“/ (L. II – 32) ... It happened that one day all the fortress was besieged violentísimamente, a Portuguese flag bearer with both push approached that nailed the flag on the floor at his door. For example having regained his soldiers the spirit of victory, They strove to break with extraordinary violence willing to burn the gates. On that day he got almost take the place, but so strenuously they resisted getting under siege, increasing fear him more tenaciously, who died for the standard-bearer weapons and wounded many others disperse in flight. In this fighting and Misbehavior two buildings around the village were looted and burned. "

Because it can be seen in the aforementioned text, the engagement is performed within the period of Portuguese inclusions, It is as has been showing between 9 October to 14 of November, inclusive of the year 1706. Except for the possibility that it was another unknown day, This exposed the story could happen in that day Oct. 9, since being able to appreciate the ingrained habit of burning homes, on this occasion were only two houses, perhaps because early intervention commented Cavalry D. Pedro Corbí who tells us in his certificatoria, since inclusion of that day 8 of November, Very casual would be said were a number of houses of Laureano Ballester, no day is feasible 14 the same month, because as already mentioned were more than thirty. In this regard it has also been added that repeated intention to burn the village, expeditious tactics of the time they used the troops on the opposing defense populations, to discourage partisan conviction of one or another suitor and thus make them desist, what in terms of the old church that it was what was then Banyeres, located at the foot of the castle on the site now occupied by the Main Theater, It suggests that no such effects suffered repeated assaults, because by observing existing scripts two inventories, It is the first of the year 1704 and the second date 24 September 1720, You can check that the content of the second first repeats. This attitude is a certain comprehensibility, because on the one hand the laws of war of the time, ordered the weapons go through all the soldiers who had somehow made any destruction church concerniese. It is on the other hand, considered the greatest sin for Catholics, which defiles the Church. Non desecration of religious temples occurred equally to those located in Villena and Sax.

PHOTOGRAPHY 7: Registration Royal Proclamation Felipe V granted to Banyeres, giving it the title of Villa Real, Faithful and loyal, before the Royal Chancery of Valencia by Real Agreement document, containing written as follows:

Commented after the siege of the day 14 November 1706, not known to date more austracistas raids in Banyeres sucediesen. In fact in the commentary certificatoria D. Pedro Corbí says as follows:

“/ (f. 7v)... Lately day 14 the Nº. (November) more fire were enemies ... ". But it was not for the war gave to an end, it was just that military operations in the Levant region concluded that year, somewhat later than in the rest of the peninsula due to its worst weather.

Thus it came to February of the following year, when the day 8 of the month, Allied received significantly strengthen 9000 mens, both English and Dutch disembarking in Alicante. Colonel Antonio do Couto himself wrote in his memoirs what, as follows:

/ (p. 602 – 603) "King also try to form another army in Portugal to enter Castilla, seeing to unite both in Madrid; to this effect came ten thousand men from England to join with the Portuguese. This new army that was King D. Pedro. These troops arrived at the command of General Milor Rivert, and the Dutch was the General L'Islle Maré (L'Isle-Marais). He led the British Navy Admiral Chovel, (Sir Cloudesley Shovell) and the Dutch fleet was commanded by Admiral Lutenis Alemon (Philippe van Almonde - peninsular writers called him general Allemond). These armed llagarían to Lisbon died while King D. Pedro. This incident came again the British Armed, and Dutch with the transports that brought; landing troops were to Alicante where they landed some. "

An expedition of this landing in Alicante, He departed the day 24 to Novelda and Elda. L'Isle-Marais, colonel of a regiment religionist (Huguenot) the service of the United Provinces, I wrote in a letter to the State Council, Novelda dated the 26 February 1707, as follows:

"... The troops landing, both English and Dutch who were in Alicante, and those who had made the site Xixona, they launched the 24 (February) to take barracks in Elda and Novelda. we Arrived 25 Novelda, which he was free of enemies. The 26 a detachment was ordered to go to Elda, which it was occupied by the enemy, but he left the place shortly before the arrival of the detachment. The same day, my lord Rivers and all general officers recognized all posts, after which it was decided to work in Elda and Novelda so that they can keep, but I do not think it's possible because enemies can cut off communication between Elche and Elda and as our cavalry can not stand there, I think we will be forced to leave these positions. The Erle TG sends in Elda, BG McCartney in Elche and Novelda. Every day many sick soldiers, which has forced me to establish a hospital in Alicante. " 5

Also in another letter of the same colonel said rerouted to State Council, but on this occasion dated Ibi 20 March 1707, He wrote the following:

"…The 7 and the 8 of this month (March), abandoned spaces and Elda Novelda, we had occupied, together with Elche, where we had 7 battalions, because the troops could not stand there and enemies would have cut us. So that, Novelda start from the 8 with all the troops and got the 9 Y 10 Hoya de Castalla, where they have been distributed as follows: the English in Castalla and Onil and Dutch in Ibi and Tibi. We have not found any resistance from the inhabitants of these places, who had been abandoned by the enemy for some time. " 6

PHOTOGRAPHY 8: Map: Theater of War in Spain and Portugal. By Pierre Montier, Dutch geographer; 1710. The author, considering the still Archduke Charles of Austria and His Majesty Carlos III of Spain, evidence supporting the Allied Powers, extolling his victories, and trying to minimize the adverse results. In the lower right corner large cartouche adorned in which he is represented an episode of the War of Succession Spanish, the embarkation of troops, led by Archduke Charles on horseback, surrounded by his nobles and captains. On the Mediterranean coast they are represented some of the battles that took place in the war of succession to the Spanish Crown, indicating date. Figure on the Catalan coast landing of Archduke Charles in 1705 and map inside the military campaigns from Catalonia and Aragon reaching Madrid. On the map we see reflected the victories of the allied troops in the summer of 1710, while the Battle of Almansa 1707 does not appear, nor the town of Banyeres was borbónica Square.

Said first contingent of troops headed to Castalla, what Forcall reaching the mill they stopped and sent a delegation to the authorities of this town, so that should tell them whether they would receive or reject them. To answer the emissaries I'm leaving a commission in which the priest was D. Raimundo Morant, informing the British that they had no objection to receive them, siéndoles not so harassed. From this place the said contingent of troops was partitioned between Onil, there, Tibi and Castalla walked four thousand English; three thousand infantry and a thousand cavalry, entering the population at ten o'clock the day 10 of marzo.7

Were times when the austracistas troops were occupying more seats in the Kingdom of Valencia, and consequently in the Foia de Castalla, so it became more difficult to repel the attacks and defend existing militias, until the Franco-Spanish troops could carry out their advance from Castilla. This led to further Banyeres it will remain surrounded by its surrounding towns occupied by troops austracisas, but considering its streets closed, and obtaining trenches outside the village, the castle that protected in case of siege, for its strategic position above sea level and surrounded by homes which made him inaccessible heavy artillery, with a garrison of thirty French soldiers of the Regiment Blesois, and part of the cavalry militia D. Pedro Corbi making run through the area, as well as the watchtowers that might have in different places, It was possibly one of the most sheltered and protected places at that time Borbonic.

Was a need to transmit orders to the soldiers by acoustic means, what in the eighteenth century the hegemonic military instrument was the drum, heavy, uncomfortable and large. The Maulets and instead austracistas Miquelets Valencians, they preferred other instrument that adapts best to transportation, which usually they used as distinctive sound of that rough horn, in armed clashes. After the War of Succession, anyone who possessed a horn of this type was suspected of having been austracista. (Particular collection).

With respect to the garrison of soldiers defending the square of Banyeres, Notariales Protocols in LAUREANO Ballester 1704-1707 (A.M.A. Sig.: 1361), we can find the following:

At the time that concerns us, It was common borrowing with different forms of contract, being the most common repay the amount requested in the festivities of La Mare de Deu de Agost, our Lady. September and the All Saints. As we can see in the text carries one of the dates referred, which is considered the end of the crop year, where in that month it had gathered the summer harvest, thereby facilitating the collection for payment of the borrowed, that failure to comply with the provisions, concurred with fine. In said protocol, we can see in the original, that on top of izd margin., He has scored "tc" (treta copy), which it meant that at any given time, copy of the letter was made.

The new campaign would begin austracista army in our area from the day 4 April 1707, when the Portuguese thirds were quartered in Bocairent, sour, etc., They were preparing to take first Villena through Fuente la Higuera, and between days trying 17 Y 21, with English soldiers, Dutch and some battalions of French Protestants (Huguenot), come from Yecla. British troops also were in Castalla would leave the 6 April to Alcoy. Of all the king Felipe V, He was aware of the start of the new campaign, since in the Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France, is a letter to his grandfather the French king Louis XIV, in which it communicates and:

"It looks like, the campaign will begin in this our country, as the enemies gather an army in the kingdom of Valencia and Marshal Berwick does the same to face his purposes. According to the letter I received from him this morning, I think is determined to fight them if they wanted to start a battle, and I confess to Your Majesty I would greatly given our superiority; but, However, I find it very hard to believe. Only one reason could force them to do so, namely, prevent bonding with the new reinforcements you have to either send. Anyway, soon we will leave doubts because, If your purpose is to fight, they will do as they can. " 8

Among all prepared for the already well-known Battle of Almansa, which was the 25 the same month. A few days before, Day in Madrid 18, Felipe V wrote another letter to his grandfather Louis XIV, Also being in the Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France, wherein a fragment thereof contains as follows:

"I'm still waiting for a battle, so that Your Majesty can imagine the anxiety I feel if I say everywhere that our troops are far superior in quantity and quality to enemies. According to the latest news the day-gotten 13 of this month, both armies were four leagues only each other, on the plains where nothing can prevent them from joining. A) Yes, I await news of the situation at any time. " 9

Two days before the aforementioned battle, Marshal Duke of Berwick (James Fitz-James), sends a dispatch from Almansa to justice and juries Banyeres, that Laureano copy number Ballester performs in its written three, communicates the following:

“/ (f. 3) Recivo the VMD (Your Grace) of 21 of the current viewing its content and the zeal, value VMDS by Royal Service all Exersito mine is next and grassless pitch in this town of Almansa being mui next to repress ossadia enemies and assi do not have to be wary cossa ny doubt that desseo give VMDS taste both in general and in particular god gde (save) a Vmds Ms. as.

How can we enjoy, two days too earlier, the justice Banyeres other mail sent to that Duke of Berwick. In spring 1707 Philip V's army led by the Duke said, he headed Valencia. Being in Chinchilla receive advance news 18.000 austracistas, precisely what the day 21 of April (Holy Thursday), Berwick Almansa arrived and stayed in the manor house of Don Luis Enríquez de Navarra, settling in it during the seven days he remained his headquarters in the field of Almansa, to organize his troops and prevent the entry into the allied army Castilla.

Justice and juries were the highest representatives of the then City Hall, until the 11 of 1708 are randomly selected as magistrates, alcaldes mayores, or ordinary mayors by order of the Royal Agreement of the Royal Chancery of Valencia (Sig.: 444/2 – C. 8. Mold.), conforming to the laws of Castile. The figure of justice in all populations was represented by a single individual, although usually the assistance of a lawyer, while jurors were formed in cities such as Alicante for up to four people, and populations were characterized by three members. This was noted in the document discussed above, with reference to lining soldiers defending Banyeres:

“/ (f. 90v) On 6 January, Annata Domii mdccvii (6 of January of 1707) Novera Vniversi Bernat healthy Ribera de Balle Juame Visent Batiste Justice Joseph Domenech Visent Albero French Franc Joseph Juan Sworn farmers of this Vniversitad Bani Vehinat and habits (habitadors) Officials in a non together ...

Both justice as jurors endured its mandate for a maximum of one year, again they are chosen by lottery by a number drawn from a bag.

As shown in the letter of Laureano Ballester, this decree was registered in the Royal Court of Valencia on the date indicated, It is recorded in the Book of Real Agreement 1708, forming the folios 114r – 116r.

In said battle Almansa, After nearly five hours of fighting having started at three in the afternoon with a mutual cannonade on both sides, the triumph of the Bourbon troops on austracistas was imminent, having lost the army austracista 15.000 killed and wounded, doing well 9.000 about prisoners, among which there were 800 official, 102 flags or banners, their 20 guns and almost all his baggage, while the cavalry was not stopping until they fled to Játiva llagar the same night that the action took place. The stories of victory spread like wildfire, where all the town bells rang in unison. Villena also holding a thanksgiving party it is agreed by the outcome of the Battle of Almansa (Certificate 30 of the 5 of 1707 – AMV.). Presumably, if not in the same way, Banyeres when the Bourbons also concluded as with his comments through the streets, manifesting an enormous sense of relief at the repeated incursions austracistas endured in the previous year. In another letter sent by the King of Spain King French, communicated the following clarification to the outcome of the battle:

"They claim that Dutch and Portuguese cams, who had come to Alicante to join his army, they returned to embark instantly, when they heard the news of Batala, to go to Barcelona. " 10

It was from this battle, austracista when the decline began to be felt in the Kingdom of Valencia, since they had no army with which to deal, recovering by the Bourbons those places which were still occupied by austracistas.

Two months after such battle, more specifically 29 of June, King Philip V promulgated the Decree of New Plant abolishing laws and institutions own the Kingdom of Valencia, as punishment for rebellion maintained that kingdom, advised by the archbishop of Zaragoza, Antonio Ibáñez of the Riva Herrera, to make a complete change of the political government of Aragon, establishing there the laws of Castilla.11 To which, And he made the kingdom of Majorca and the principality of Catalonia, establishing absolute dominance by just right of conquest, while in the lordship of Vizcaya, Guipuzcoa Province, the flat land of Alava and the kingdom of Navarre would retain their traditional provincial privileges as a reward for assistance rendered from the beginning to the cause borbónica.12 Having ended the War of Succession, Felipe V makes a consultation with the social strata of the Kingdom of Valencia on whether to return the fueros. Thereto, the University of Valencia responds that things are fine as they are. In this sense, the 4 August 1730 pavordía a vacancy of Law is granted in the cathedral of Valencia to dr. Arbuxech, the one who had advised the baron of Bicorp on non desirability of Valencia regained its former fueros.13

In the "Llibre de Clavaria" Bocairent we mentioned in the previous edition, It is corresponding to the years of 1702 a 1707, in which the recovery from the square of Bocairent (21 August 1707), almost all of the entries make mention of war expenses Bocairent had to pay for being in favor of Archduke Carlos. To this must referenced in this town that neighbors had to pay Banyeres, a first seat being found in which says:

“/ (p. 201) Ittem he admits in descarrech three pound sich wages and three Dines who pays Agusti French Bañeres for CAFI of sivada which occurs for both horses had Dn Eugenio de Savalsa Jinsen Colonel Regimient Cordova and Comenda of this town that prize consists abalbara occurs in the scribe 25 of November 1707 = 3L 5S 3 '

With the foregoing in conjunction with previous editions, conclude with austracistas Banyeres suffered raids during the War of Succession, so far we have found through written documents, but not before closing the present without exposing the letter from the bishop of Cartagena, encompassing the suffering inflicted during such incursions Banyeres, Laureano Ballester serving this with more to apply various privileges to King Philip V, which exposes and:
