Between 1459 and 1460, the town of Orihuela was the centre of a popular protest movement aimed at radically reforming the municipal institutions as regards the electoral system, management of public resources and the creation a system of low interest loans. The leaders of the movement were manual workers, mostly creaftsmen from the textile sector. Their leader, the wool carder Joan Rodríguez, used political discourse to attract supporters and obtain proxy votes. With these, he became the judicial attorney of the town and then presented the King and the municipal authorities with proposals for political and social reforms. Despite being imprisoned and tried, he was supported by the monarchy and was named baile (royal rent collector) for the town of Orihuela by king Juan II.
