Resumen
In 1810, two works were printed in Valencia that defended the validity of the Valencian foral system established in our lands as a result of the conquest of James I when it was abolished since 1707, after the defeat of Almansa. These are the Discurso sobre la constitución que dio al reyno de Valencia su invicto conquistador, el señor don Jayme Primero by Francesc Xavier Borrull and the Memorias histórico-críticas de las antiguas Cortes del reyno de Valencia, a work by the Dominican friar Bartolomé Ribelles. This chapter analyzes the interests of those authors and places these works within the political context of the Spain of the moment, invaded by the Napoleonic troops
