Editing Reus (section)

=== Foundation and early history ===

Around 1150 [[Robert d'Aguiló]] repopulated the region of Reus, after receiving it on 3 June 1154. On 5 June 1154 the [[archbishop of Tarragona]] gave two-thirds of Reus to [[Bertran de Castellet]], as a [[castellan]], with the order to build a church. On 29 June 1159, the distribution of income from ecclesiastical goods, the third of its Reus parish of Santa Maria was awarded to the camerlengo, starting the duplicity of governing the town. At this time the city was known as Redis or '''Reddis'''. The castellan [[Bernat de Bell-lloc]] granted Reus the title of town on 3 August 1183, giving the ownership of houses and gardens, establishing a [[census]] to fund  farmland but reserved legal authority, but recognizing its [[vassalage]] towards the archbishopric of Tarragona. On 2 June 1186 the camerlengo [[Joan de Santboi]] confirmed the rights given by the castellan Bernard de Bell-lloc.
