In the 16<sup>th</sup> century, the Catalan nobility was divided in two rival factions, Nyerros and Cadells, that led a continuous struggle between them.

In 1592, the Spanish king, Philip II, sent his army against the castle of Arsèguel, owned by Joan Cadell, the leader of the Cadells; the castle was seiged and destroyed. | In the 16<sup>th</sup> century, the Catalan nobility was divided in two rival factions, Nyerros and Cadells, that led a continuous struggle between them.
