The Treaty of Utrecht (1713) recognised Felipe V as king of Spain but in exchange for considerable land and monetary concessions to the allies. Catalonia now stood alone facing the enormous military might of the Bourbon armies. The Junta de Braços agreed to mount resistance. Barcelona was besieged by some 40,000 Castilian and French troops. The city's Coronela, or urban militia, organised the resistance under the orders of the Consell de Cent. The total resistance force in the city numbered 5,300 men. Barcelona managed to hold out for 13 months, drawing admiration from much of Europe.
