===Catalan Revolt war and the Archduke Charles===
At the beginning of the [[Reapers' War|Catalan Revolt war]] the town had 1200 houses, but reduced to 800 by the end of the war. On 16 December 1640 was declared an enemy of the fatherland by the Parliament and confiscated the goods of the inhabitants, as a response to the inactive participation in the war. In 1641 it was occupied by the French general [[Philippe de La Mothe-Houdancourt|La Mothe]].

Reus was loyal to [[Philip V of Spain|Philip V]] until 1705, but this year, under the direction of [[Joan Nebot]], revolted in favor of the [[Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor|Archduke Charles]]. On 3 July 1706 the [[Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor|Archduke Charles]] came to the town. In 1707 fell shortly to the [[House of Bourbon|Bourbons]], but in 1709 Reus surrendered to the [[House of Bourbon|Spanish and French Bourbons]]. In 1710 Reus returned again to the field of [[Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor|Archduke Charles]]. On 5 June 1712 the wife of the Archduke, [[Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel|Elisabeth Christine]], gave the title of [[imperial city]] to Reus. In 1713 Reus was occupied finally by the [[House of Bourbon|Bourbon]].
