Abstract

The present article analyses the instability the Franciscan province of Valencia suffered at the end of the 17th century. The seriousness of the circumstances took the followers of saint Francisco back to uproarious past times, with the connivance of the order’s higher authorities. The appeal lodged by the nunciature made this conflict even more complicated and confronted the ecclesiastic jurisdiction with the general vice regency of the reign while the conflict spread over to the laity and seriously menaced the order of the territory. Eventually the crown put an end to the crisis through the concurrence of the Vatican and hoisting its royalties over the Church.
