The defeat of the Comunero cities and their subsequent immersion into Charles V's heterogeneous empire was thus a great "watershed" in Spanish political life.

Father and son promoted what they believed to be the "common good" of the Kingdom by defending the interests of the urban gentry in Cuenca and Naples respectively. |
