Vicent Peris

Vicent Peris (1478–1522) (in Catalan; Spanish: Vicente Peris) was a weaver and leader of the weavers' guild (germania) in Valencia. He came to prominence as the most influential leader of the Council of Thirteen after the death of Joan Llorenç in the Revolt of the Brotherhoods. Peris saw the revolution as a wider social revolution against the nobility, and aggressively attacked them. He also legitimized the anti-Muslim stance of many rebels into the Germanies government, and intensified their repression.
