Fuenteovejuna is a play with the Spanish playwright Lope de Vega. Initial released in Madrid in 1619 within Docena Parte de las Comedias de Lope de Vega Carpio, the play is believed to have already been written between 1612 and 1614. The play is based upon an actual historical event that took place in the village of Fuenteovejuna (now called Fuente Obejuna) in Castile in 1476. While under the command from the Order of Calatrava, a commander, Fernán Gómez de Guzmán, mistreated the villagers, who banded collectively and wiped out him. When a magistrate sent by King Ferdinand II of Aragon arrived at the village to research, the villagers, also under the discomfort of torture, responded just by saying “Fuenteovejuna achieved it.”
