History
Control over the territory passed from the Order of St. John of Jerusalem to the Order of Calatrava on the wake of the 1212 Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.Template:Sfn The demarcation of the area in the concord of 1232 confirmed the Calatravan control of Villarrubia.[3]
Together with Aldea del Rey, Almagro, Bolaños and Daimiel, Villarrubia was one of the five towns of the Campo de Calatrava.Template:Sfn By the end of the middle ages, Villarrubia, like the rest of the Campo de Calatrava, featured a quite large mudéjar population.Template:Sfn In 1502, the Catholic Monarchs granted local moriscos from Villarrubia (and the wider Campo) tax exemptions, as if they were for all legal purposes old christians.Template:Sfn Tightly assimilated into the local society, the moriscos from Villarrubia fiercely refused their decreed expulsion, and the local lord, the Template:Ill (and President of the Council of Portugal), lobbied in order to curb the impact of the measure.Template:Sfn Following the two expulsions from 1611 and 1612, most of the expelled moriscos were able to return to Villarrubia.Template:Sfn
