Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What happened to the Justiciar, Juan de Lanuza?

    Model answer

    He was executed in 1591.

  2. 2

    What happened to the Justiciar after the revolt?

    Model answer

    Juan de Lanuza was arrested and beheaded without trial in December 1591, an act that broke the fueros he existed to defend.

  3. 3

    How were the fueros altered after 1591?

    Model answer

    The Cortes of Tarazona in 1592 allowed the king to appoint a non-Aragonese viceroy, made the Justiciar removable by the crown, and permitted majority rather than unanimous voting.

  4. 4

    Why did Philip II not abolish the fueros altogether?

    Model answer

    He preferred to modify them just enough to secure obedience, avoiding the cost and risk of a full confrontation while at war in France and the Netherlands.

  5. 5

    What did the outcome demonstrate about royal power?

    Model answer

    That the crown could override provincial liberties when it chose, but that it still needed to work through existing institutions rather than replace them.

  6. 6

    How did the episode affect Philip II's reputation?

    Model answer

    It confirmed the image of an absolutist king abroad and left lasting resentment in Aragon, though Aragon did not join the Catalan and Portuguese revolts of the 1640s.
