Abstract: This article examines the political trajectory of the Catalan bishop of Barcelona, Benet Sala, after allegations made against him in 1705 by the Viceroy of Catalonia. After his fall from grace and subsequent imprisonment in Madrid, Benet was expulsed from Spain and confined in Avignon until 1713. From there, the bishop launched a series of strategies in order to return to Catalonia, but both Bourbon and Austrian powers prevented this, thinking it could be a problem in the negotiations of the Peace of Utrecht.
