→Part 2 Peasant revolt
But that's where they pay the taxes (for using the mill) so they refuse to do that.
They beat the taxman "champarter" ("champarteur" in French) nearly to death and kick him out.They cry "Champarteur, chapardeur, champarteur, chapardeurMurcia belons to Aragon ! Death to Pedro el Cruel !"
Obviously, there'll be a fight the next day.
The peasants want to defend the illegal mill.
They explain that Murca was recently taken by Castille crown, but it has been part or Aragon for a long time before.
The soldiers will attack the next day.
