Battle of Oriola (1521)
The Battle of Oriola was an armed conflict fought between the troops of the Germanías and those of Pedro Fajardo y Chacón, Marqués de los Vélez, on 30 August 1521 in Oriola, in the Kingdom of Valencia.
The events were marked by strong internal disputes amongst the Agermanados , which caused a significant decline in their forces, just over a month after the Battle of Gandia.
The defeat of the Germanias was crucial to the Revolt of the Brotherhoods. It killed more than 2,000 men and was accompanied by a major crackdown, with the execution of forty Agermanado. As a result, the southern Kingdom of Valencia, from Alicante to Onteniente, fell into royalist hands
