By the 11th century, the Catalan language was present in several feudal documents. Catalan was present throughout the Mediterranean by the 15th Century. This was during a time when the city of Valencia was thriving. In 1659, the Treaty of Pyrenees was signed, beginning a suppression of the Catalan language. Louis XIV issued a decree that prohibited the use of the Catalan language in Northern Catalonia.

The repression continued until recently, when finally the French government in 2007 promoted the usage of Catalan publicly and in education.In Spain, the usage of Catalan was also prohibited.
