Resumo

The election of Vicente Ferrer (�1419) in Caspe as elector marked a milestone in the history of the Kingdom of Aragon. In Caspe made a bold defense of the inheritance rights of the infant of Castile, Fernando de Antequera. A few years after his death, Fr. Pietro Ranzano, also Dominican friar and Italian humanist, composed the first biography of the saint (c. 1456), in which, unlike the chronicles and historical documents of the time, it will attempt to show that his protagonist was a real Dominican friar and, therefore, a reflection of the founder of the order, Domingo of Guzman. Taking as a starting point this first Latin biography of the saint, proper work of a humanist than a medieval hagiographer, the meaning and importance of the episode Compromise of Caspe and decisive participation of Valencian saint in the same is analyzed through all subsequent Latin hagiography.
