THE MILITARY BROTHERHOOD Belchite
have not yet agreed on whether Belchite historians was conquered from the Arabs before or after Zaragoza (1118). The strongest argument in favor of the former is that its conquest was present Galindo Sánchez, tenente Belchite. So says José M ª Lacarra (Aragon in the past. Espasa Calpe. Madrid, 1972, pg. 57). Antonio Ubieto Arteta (History of Aragon. The territorial formation, pg. 158) believed to be delivered on the occasion of the surrender of Zaragoza.
By being Belchite as border, the first problem was attracting new settlers who were the basis for his defense. Alfonso So I gave a number of benefits contained in the Town Charter Belchite. But these concessions had to be insufficient. Therefore, I founded a brotherhood Alfonso military.
Years later, dead and the Warrior, Alfonso VII the Emperor at the Council of Burgos in 1136, was to confirm and promote brotherhood Belchite military, which led to the retreat for the Christian armies defeat of Fraga (1134 .) With this confirmation we know the constitutions of the original foundation, as they reproduce the rights and obligations of the brothers.

concessions relationship ends with an exhortation to go to Belchite with good spirits, recalling the words of the Gospel: "Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness" (John 8. 12) and a few more and said that this was released the tomb of the Lord and Mallorca and Zaragoza and other lands. Finally add a canonical penalty for those who would harm any brother.
the Brotherhood would probably settling in the Pueyo. From there, organized his fellow penetrations into enemy territory. With the change of borders, the institution lost strength to reach its dissolution.
