Amparo Cabanes Pecourt (born 1938) is a Spanish historian, professor of paleography, writer, and politician.
She obtained the degrees of Philosophy and Letters con premio extraordinario (1962) and Doctor in History (1968), under the direction of Ubieto Arteta at the Literary University of Valencia.
By means of a national competition she obtained the Chair of Paleography and Diplomacy with a posting at the University of Murcia's Faculty of Philosophy and Letters (1982), passing in September 1983, through a transfer competition, to the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Zaragoza, where she remained until her retirement in 2008.
In 1976, invited by Manuel Sanchis i Guarner to give a lecture on the repopulation of the Kingdom of Valencia based on the apportionment of James I, Cabanes Pecourt threw away the preexisting theories and defended the thesis that more settlers were Aragonese than Catalan, and therefore those who helped him conquer the lands did not speak Catalan.
[4] From September 1981 to December 1982, she was Councilor of Education in the Council of the Valencian Community presided over by Enrique Monsonís, at the proposal of the UCD, although she accepted the position as an independent.
