This study examines episodes of violence recorded in the “Valencian Annals”, contributing to the historiography of the Kingdom of Valencia. The chronicle, authored anonymously, primarily reflects local events but also includes references of broader, even universal, scope. Among these accounts, various forms of violence emerge. By analysing four specific cases, the research highlights how violence was not only present but also institutionalized within medieval Valencian society.
