The grain market, short-term credit, and economic inequality in the Kingdom of Valencia. The towns of Cocentaina, and Castellón in the Fifteenth-Cent…
2018
Despite the predominance of small peasant farms in the Valencian countryside in the Late Middle Ages, large sections of the peasantry were forced to turn to the market to obtain cereals for consumption and sowing. Insufficient land and lack of liquidity caused by the seasonal cycle of crops made it necessary to use short-term credit, which was recorded in the court of local justice in the legal form of “obligacions”. The aim of this paper is to analyse the economic role of this credit market, identifying varieties of commercialised cereals, seasonality of purchases and payments, price trends and the socio-professional background of buyers (debtors) and sellers (creditors). Thus, we study ho…
El tesoro medieval de la Catedral de Valencia
2020
Esta tesis doctoral se ha centrado en la investigación del tesoro medieval de la Catedral de Valencia con el objetivo principal de actualizar todo aquello que se había dicho sobre su origen y formación, e intentar dar un paso más, estableciendo un nuevo enfoque con el que tratar de explicar este tipo de piezas de gran valor histórico y artístico. Con esto hemos querido dejar patente la importancia del periodo medieval en la formación y posterior desarrollo del tesoro, en consonancia con el auge que experimentó la ciudad entre los siglos XIII y XVI. Para ello en un primer momento se ha comprobado que los estudios que iniciaron este interés, como los de José Sanchis Sivera y Peregrín Llorens …
L'esercizio del potere tra consenso e opposizione nella Sicilia del XIV secolo: il caso dei signori di Sciacca
2021
Il saggio delinea le strategie utilizzate dai Peralta, signori di Sciacca, nell’esercizio e nella gestione del potere, mettendo in luce le forme di consenso che questo generò. Ambito privilegiato di indagine è la corte dei Peralta e le famiglie che seguirono i conti nella ribellione e nella riconciliazione con la Corona, quelle che trassero vantaggi dalla familiarità con i vicari e quelle che, per la loro opposizione, furono ricompensate solo alla morte di Nicola. I riflessi del ruolo assunto dal conte di Caltabellotta sono evidenti anche nell’opera del ministro dei Minori in Sicilia Andrea de Pace di Sciacca che, alla fine del XIV secolo, dedicò il suo Viridarium principum proprio a Nicola…
Oligarchies and Client Systems in Rural communities in the South of the Crown of Aragón (13th to 15th Centuries)
2010
Studies of late medieval Hispanic client systems generally focus on networks of noble power, to the exclusion of the peasantry. This is doubtless in part because the peasantry has traditionally been considered to represent a largely homogenous social group defined in opposition to the feudal nobility, whose members defended common interests. However, the last few years have witnessed a profusion of studies into the rural, or peasant, elites of Western Europe during the late medieval and modern periods, and these highlight not only significant disparities between the economic status of those and that of the remainder of the peasantry, but also their employment of specific power-mechanisms in…
Stati regionali e apparati burocratici nella Corona d'Aragona (sec. XIII-XV)
2005
The text, given as a charged paper at the Conreso de Historia de la Corona de Aragon, starts with a critical survey of traditional and recent historiography on the institutional structure of the Crown of Aragon. It's focused on the concepts of "pluralismo coordinado" (Lalinde Abadia) and of "composite monarchy" (Elliot, Koenigsberger), revealing strenghts and the weaknesses of the supernational state in the late Middle Ages. Each kingdom of the whole monarchy is then analysed in its institutional history and in its relationship with the central monarchy.
Quia non ascendit suma : la riqueza del clero de la ciudad de Zaragoza durante la Baja Edad Media (1272-1456)
2021
[ES] El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar la riqueza y la desigualdad socioeconómica del clero zaragozano a través de las fuentes fiscales durante la Baja Edad Media. Mediante el análisis de los libros de décimas pontificias conservados en el Archivo de la Corona de Aragón y en el Archivo Apostólico Vaticano es posible documentar la tasa contributiva de los clérigos aragoneses, en general, y de los zaragozanos, en particular. En concreto, a través de un estudio cronológico amplio, se puede definir la estructura y la jerarquía de la Iglesia zaragozana, comprobar cómo evolucionó la riqueza de los eclesiásticos y cómo afectaron a este grupo heterogéneo las diferentes coyunturas económicas …
Ámbito de relación entre el poder real y los municipios de la Corona de Aragón durante la época foral moderna
2006
La gobernación efectiva de los territorios que integraban la monarquía hispánica descansaba en gran medida en la operatividad de las diversas vías de comunicación establecidas entre el centro y la periferia. En este contexto temático, se tratará de esbozar aquí un breve recorrido por los distintos cauces a través de los cuales se desenvolvían las relaciones entre la administración real y la municipal, en el ámbito de la Corona de Aragón durante la época de los Austrias. Más allá de las diferencias y peculiaridades propias de cada reino, se ha primado un enfoque que, a partir de las similitudes institucionales, trate de dar cuenta de los rasgos que caracterizaban los diversos marcos de relac…

Bartomeu de Tresbens, physician and astrologer in the service of king Peter the Ceremonious and the infant John: between the service to the Crown and…
2018
Bartomeu de Tresbens was a physician, astrologer and philosopher at the service of two kings of the Crown of Aragon, Peter IV the Ceremonious and his son, Duke John, the future John I the Hunter, between 1360 and 1375, approximately. His major work of astrological content has hardly been studied, except for the Llibre de les nativitats (Book of Nativities). Similarly, most of his biography is not known. The documents, which are mainly the correspondence of its relationship with the monarchy, are preserved, but also other records that connect him to the municipalities of Barcelona and Cervera. Particularly in the latter case, Tresbens was tempted by the municipal authorities for being the ph…
El precio de ser itinerante. Viajes, acompañamiento y espacios cortesanos de la reina Leonor de Sicilia (r. 1349-1375)
2021
This article is an attempt to detail which logistical, economic and human implications had the itinerancy of the medieval monarchy. For this reason, the paper focuses on the characteristics of the itinerancy of Eleanor of Sicily, third wife of Pedro the Ceremonious and queen of the Crown of Aragon between 1349 and 1375. Through the analysis of her documentation, from chancery and treasury resources, it has been possible to establish an itinerary of the queen for three years, from 1354 to 1357. The analysis of this itinerary allows us to see the confluence of the royal couple entourages and the consequences of the beginning of the Dos Pedros war. At the same time, the paper focuses on the pe…
