The figure of Francesc de Vinatea in the kingdom of Valencia. From the royal chronicle to the archival records (1331-1332)

Original title: A figura de Francesc de Vinatea no reino de Valência. Da crônica real aos documentos arquivísticos (1331-1332)
Published in Relations between History and Literature in Ancient and Medieval World
Keywords: 14th century, Chronicles, Crown of Aragon, Francesc de Vinatea, Kingdom of Valencia.
Francesc de Vinatea was called a medieval hero by the liberal historiography and he still occupies an important position in the collective imagination of the Valencian society. This consideration comes from the facts narrated in the chronicle of Pedro IV of Aragon, which, however, we now know that were altered by the monarch himself to improve his image. This manipulation is what we intend to reveal in this text, by comparing the narrative of the chronicle with archival data extracted from the Aragonese royal chancery documents.
