The Moriscos' expulsion is a crippling blow …

Years: 1614 - 1614

The Moriscos' expulsion is a crippling blow not just to the economies of Aragon and Valencia, but also the power of their nobles.

The former Crown of Aragon had been in the shadow of the richer and more populous Crown of Castile for some time, but with this, their stature drops still further.

Of the Eastern Kingdoms themselves, the Catalonian nobles now rise to prominence, their incomes far less affected.

Thus the expulsion has helped shift power away from its traditional centers in Valencia and Aragon to Catalonia.
