The investigation investigates epistolary relationships between two of the most important Valencian actors of the Caspe Commitment era, the juries of Valencia and Vicente Ferrer. It is also a study on medieval semi-public communication since one of the actors in the communication, the issuer is a public institution and the other, the receiver, is a particular physical person. However, the present work does not stop at mere communication and aims to show the political role played by the juries and the saint throughout the Interregnum and how their relationship changes depending on their political position on who they defend as the legitimate king of the Crown of Aragon.
