Resettlement and dependence on Morella
In 1271 Infante Peter asked Arnaldo Sauit and ten settlers to populate the place. In 1287 Olocau became a village subject to Morella, on which it depended until it gained independence in 1691. The source does not explain how or why that independence came about.
