Villafranca de los Caballeros is a municipality located in the province of Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. According to the 2006 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 5327 inhabitants. ==Toponymy== In 1557 king Philip II granted it the charter of town (in spanish villa). At the beginning of being populated, it was allowed to be free of taxes (frank) for six years. The wording "de los Caballeros" would be added to the name of "Villafranca" because of some customary events from the time of Middle Ages. "It happened every year, the day of St. Martin, that the repressentatives of all villages and towns belonging to the Order of the Kinghts of St. John gathered at the place, to deal with the use of community pastures. In the gathering, repressentatives would answer when asked: ... may speak now the gentleman from ...". And for holding, even if was only for a day, attending people who was considered to be gentlemen (caballeros in spanish), the town received that surname. So the place became known as "Villafranca de los Caballeros". There is a handful of other towns that are also called Villafranca (frank town), but hey, there's only one Villafranca de los Caballeros in all Spain. This information has been extracted from the old file Descriptions of Cardinal Lorenzana, 1784. I'm not sure of how to write the reference.
