Enthusiasm for the new Mendicant movement spread the Brothers of Penitence of Jesus Christ, or "Sack Brothers", all over Europe and specially in the realms of Crown of Aragon, from 1251 to their suppression by the Council of Lyons II in 1274. Though we can reconstruct their network of convents only from randomly surviving manuscripts, a folder of parchments at Barcelona's Arxiu Diocesà enables us to explore their Barcelona experience in some detail. This includes the content of their library, their pastoral-canonical counseling, their new church and convent, the 51 friars who passed through here, their lay money managers, their lawsuits, their large loans to King James, and their prosperous fiscal maneuvers.
