The expulsion of the Moors in 1609-1614 mainly affected the Valencian nobility, who tried to compensate for this human loss with new repopulators of Old Christians. The cartas pueblas were documents that established the privileges and properties of the new settlers who settled in the new lands. In this case, not only the land and the type of cultivation imposed were distributed, but also a part of the harvest was granted, given the poverty of the settlers. In many cases, the lords also offered farming tools so that the settlers could start to generate yields. However, in many cases, such as the present one, the conditions for repopulation were harsh and the charters had to be reconsidered, as well as agreeing to concordats, in which some points were modified in order to ensure that the lordship was not abandoned.
