In the 15th century, Petilla was the site of a battle between the Navarrese and Aragonese armies in which the fictional troubadour Manrico and the Conte di Luna, of Verdi's Il trovatore, fought on opposite sides, not knowing they were brothers; this is recounted by the gipsy Azucena in her famous aria Stride la vampa![citation needed]
