He happens to April 23 Fiesta de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León, which coincides with the defeat of Revuelta de los comuneros in 1521. This acontecimiento history helps us to reflect their impact on El Bierzo. English commoner revolt seems to have had excessive peripheral importance in our territory. Defend this thesis based on the scarcity of historical sources found on the subject. Quite the opposite happens with the presence of Irmandades in El Bierzo.

Carlos Barros Recoll that neighbors Ponferrada, Vilafranca Cacabelos conspire with the Count de Lemos, between February and March 1468, against the Brotherhood dich "for trying to organize against contrarrevuelta Irmandinhas. So Make it Count apoyo Meeting in algunas villas Berciano, possibly among its regidores, but peasants and exploited some baja Nobleza is with luego Irmandinhas as we shall see.

Count de Lemos and his supporters were rounded up in the strength of the Irmandades galego Ponferradina pr-Berciano, "and then in Ponferrada and cercaronlo defensioseles villa because it was strong, and because you come near many knights and squires that were staples of the exiles his, and another if it helped the Count Alvaro de Trastamara "(writer Lope García de Salazar).

In a way there is a recognition of the count on social support Irmandiña majority of the revolt.
Irmandades also know that spread their revolution to the Bierzo region but also to neighboring Sanabria. These facts considered Irmandades find that the two peripheral regions as part of the Kingdom of Galicia and the same problem against the nobility. The people of Cobreros Sanabras suffered severe repression of the Count of Benavente for supporting the cause Irmandiña. "They say that when old fellowship Quando land rose boz of this brotherhood of the nearest address and mountains fraga welcomed everyone there to defend and that is that the Count sent CABSA set fire to the place and everything were burnt and lost, then asking them satisfaction.

Despite some political efforts by Leon underestimate the importance of the revolt commoner in Leon, the truth is that it enjoyed significant events not found in El Bierzo. In the capital of the kingdom of León, disputes between two noble families, the Quinones and Guzman, was resolved in favor of supporters of the commoners. According to Eloy Díaz-Jiménez Molleda, both families began arguing over the service voted in the Cortes of Santiago, A Coruña and then continue with the open battle on the streets of Leon. After the defeat of the royalists, the Count de Luna and his supporters had to leave the city that was left commoner. Even the council was in favor of the commoner causes.
Bercianos It was difficult for they had the legitimate aim of supporting revolution commoner after suffering such a major social conflicts in previous decades. We refer to Irmandiña Revolution (1467-1469), the revolt of the noble Rodrigo Enriquez Osorio in defense of territorial integrity County Lemos (1486), and the subsequent rebellion and occupation of Ponferrada by Count (1507), given the weakness real power.
Despite all this, we know from historical documentation that the mood was altered in El Bierzo to the recovery of real services (taxes) by the ruler of the city of Leon, Hernando de Villafañe. Marquess of Villafranca himself states that "the earth is something that shocked "by this collection. In this context against taxation, the town of Ponferrada also protesting the payment of the actual services the years 1520 and 1521.
