The Franciscan order was one of the mendicant orders with the greatest influence in the peninsular context. Guided by the observances of Francis of Assisi, the Franciscans spread the rules of the new order throughout the peninsular territory, also reaching the Crown of Aragon. As Carmen Soriano Triguero says, the expansion of the order took place in the favourable context of the Christian conquest, where the ideological struggle against Islam was necessary, for which these monasteries constituted a revival of the faith. Similarly, their presence was necessary to promote pacification in more agitated contexts such as the wars of the two Peters. This trend was joined by the feminine aspect, and convents were built to house women who followed the rule of Francis of Assisi, normally attached to Saint Clare.
