Caiguda

Caiguda is a Catalan word that translates to "fall" in English. It is commonly used in the context of the fall of the Catalan counties, a series of events that occurred in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The Catalan counties were a collection of territories in northeastern Spain that were under the rule of the Crown of Aragon. The fall of the Catalan counties refers to the loss of these territories to the Crown of Castile, which was part of the Kingdom of Spain. This event marked a significant shift in the political landscape of the Iberian Peninsula and had lasting implications for the region's history and culture. The fall of the Catalan counties is often studied in the context of medieval European history and the broader history of the Iberian Peninsula.
