The recovery of the historical fact of the Kingdom of Valencia, created in the 13th century by King Jaume I, would inform the literary, historiographical, or political reclamation envisioned by contemporary Valencianism. This served to reclaim spaces for self-government, linguistic rights, privative legislation, and other forms of community life that were annihilated following the Bourbon victory in the War of Succession. Carmel Navarro Llombart (1848-1893), known as Constantí Llombart, was an exemplary figure in this regard, whom Adolf Pizcueta (1901-1989) and other Valencianists in the 20th Century would reclaim as a reference for the nascent political Valencianism.
