On 18 April 1364 Peter I granted Alcalá the status of town and its separation from Jorquera, ending its dependence on the neighbouring seigniorial State. The king, known as Peter the Cruel, signed the document at the Grao de Valencia and granted the new town the Fuero de las Leyes, together with municipal ordinances and other rights.
