Historia de Cataluña y de la Corona de Aragón

The Historia de Cataluña y de la Corona de Aragón (1860–63) is a historical work by Victor Balaguer. Balaguer, a Catalan poet and Spanish politician and historian, initially promoted Catalan nationalism in his writings. However, in his later years, he attempted to revise his earlier criticisms of Castile found in this history. The work, along with his Historia política y literaria de los trovadores, is noted for being politically biased towards Catalan nationalism and sometimes factually inaccurate. The Crown of Aragon, which Balaguer's work covers, was a significant political entity in the late Middle Ages, encompassing regions like Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia, and had a complex relationship with its nobility and neighboring kingdoms.123
