The City and the Realm: Burgos and Castile, 1080-1492

About this book

The articles in the first part of this volume, two being a revised English version of an article originally in Spanish, examine the place of the city in the historical development of Castile. The focus is the social and economic history of Burgos, and the work is founded on detailed research in the archives of the area. Professor Ruiz also calls into question the long held belief in the democratic character of medieval Castilian municipal life. In the second section he opens the field of enquiry to deal with the controversial question of what impact the conquest of Seville and the subsequent settlement of al-Andalus had on the realm of Castile, looking in particular at demographic factors and the emergence of the latifundia. The following articles analyse the symbolism and ceremonial of royal power, arguing that the claims for a sacred monarchy so usual in the medieval West were absent during this period of Spanish history, and that the kings used popular secular ceremonies, not anointments or coronations, to legitimise their rule. The book then closes with a study of the origins of the Spanish Inquisition. Les travaux contenus dans la premiĂšre partie de cet ouvrage examinent la place de la CitĂ© dans le dĂ©veloppement historique de la Castille. L'intĂ©rĂȘt central porte sur l'histoire sociale et Ă©conomique de Burgos et l'analyse est fondĂ©e sur une recherche dĂ©taillĂ©e dans les archives de cette rĂ©gion. Le professeur Ruiz remet aussi en question la croyance que l'on avait depuis longtemps quant au caractĂšre dĂ©mocratique de la vie municipale dans la Castille mĂ©diĂ©vale. Dans la seconde partie, l'auteur Ă©largit le champs de l'enquĂȘte afin de traiter de la question controversĂ©e au sujet de l'impact de la conquĂȘte de SĂ©ville et l'occupation consĂ©cutive d'al-Andalus sur le royaume de Castille, s'intĂ©ressant en particulier aux facteurs dĂ©mographiques et Ă  l'Ă©mergence de latifundia. Les Ă©tudes suivantes analysent le symbol
