Villanueva and Castán reprint an account of the death in Teruel on 2 August 1522 of some prisoners who had been brought there from Valencia on 25 July of the same year. On 2 August, at 5am the silversmith Barnabé and an unnamed luthier, both from Valencia, were strangled in prison. Then their bodies were tied to the tail of two mules and brought to the Plaza. In the Plaza the bodies were dismembered, and the members hung and displayed throughout the day. Later the members were hung along the roads and the head of Bernabé hung on a chain at the Zaragoza-gate. Both man were arrested in San Agustín for organizing rampages, violent raids and fires in Teruel and villages on their way back to Valencia. This took place during the uprising of the Germanias in Valencia during the years 1519-1523. (villanuevacastan2012, 268)
Martínez has speculated that the violero may have been Alonso de Guadalupe (martinez2015, 84).
