Fuenteovejuna, in a single word, is a play written in the early seventeenth century by Lope de Vega about events that occurred in the time of the Catholic Monarchs in Fuente Obejuna, in other times perhaps also Fuente Abejuna, Cordoba municipality of Sierra More near the site of the Roman village of Mellaria. One night in April 1476 the village killed its Commander, a feudal despot, cruel and with the right of forgetting, according to the drama of Lope, although the real causes of the murder were probably the internal conflicts in the Masterofof the Order of Calatrava.
