During his reign Peter bestowed ''[[fuero]]s'' on Barbastro (1100), [[Caparroso]] (1102), and [[Santacara]] (1102). The last was repopulated partly by Frenchmen, whose influence on local customs is apparent. According to Peter's ''fueros'', citizens were required to serve in local campaigns and castle defence, but were exempted from long-term service in the "host".<ref name=Powers/> Horse-owners resident in the towns of Barbastro and [[Santa Cristina de Somport]] (1104) were also exempted from [[Knighthood|knight-service]], known as ''cavalcata''. In 1101 Peter delineated the boundaries of the diocese of Barbastro–Roda, and those that would belong to Lleida after its reconquest.<ref>Damian J. Smith (2004), ''Innocent III and the Crown of Aragon'' (Ashgate Publishing), 206. Peter's [[charter]]s and other diplomata have been collected and edited by Antonio Ubieto Arteta in ''Colección diplomática de Pedro I de Aragón y Navarra'' (Zaragoza: 1951).</ref> On 11 December 1102 Peter was in [[Estella-Lizarra|Estella]] on the border with [[Kingdom of Castile|Castile]], perhaps seeking the aid of [[Alfonso VI of Castile|Alfonso VI]] after a particularly disastrous autumn for the Christians of eastern Spain.<ref>Reilly, 312.</ref> In 1104 Peter granted a ''fuero'' to all the ''[[infanzones]]'' of his realm, retaining his right to require three-day field service.<ref>Alfonso the Battler later extended this ''fuero'' to Zaragoza in January 1119.</ref>
