From my experience reading Spanish historical texts, the Compromise of Caspe appears more as a legitimizing backdrop than a dramatized event. I have seen it referenced to stabilize narratives of authority and continuity, especially in chronicles and later historical fiction. I would recommend tracing indirect allusions rather than expecting sustained literary treatment. Its significance often emerges through what texts assume rather than explicitly narrate.
