]]> The urban hierarchy of the Canary Islands is greatly influenced by the development of the economic and urban structure, marking the terrain according to the strategic needs of the islands as a whole. The city is established in the places where the representative organs of power decide to settle: the Crown, the Church and the population.
It can be seen in the resource how, from the 17th century onwards, the situation in the Canary Islands changed, with the predominance of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria shifting towards the socio-economic take-off of Tenerife and La Palma. A large number of foreign merchants settled in both, establishing their estates to export wine and manufactured products to America.
Despite this growth, Santa Cruz de La Palma saw its privileged position assured by the settlement of the power groups, controlling from there a large part of the wealth that circulated around the islands in those years.

The post Income and assets of the twenty-four in Jerez de la Frontera during the 18th century first appeared on History Lab.

]]> An analysis of the wealth and income of the twenty-four members of the Jerez de la Frontera town council in the 18th century shows the divergence between the great patrimonial wealth of this social group and the real income they received, which was much lower than what would be expected for the main power group in the city. This imbalance can be explained by the indirect and intensive exploitation of their rural properties, which were subject to continuous leasing and from which they obtained large economic returns.
If we analyse the properties of this power group (1.1% of the taxpayers in the municipality) according to their economic profile, we discover that their economic base is based on their control of the land, with no less than 24.15% of all the land in Jerez in their possession, highlighting and underlining their social relevance.

The post Distribution of the Moriscos according to the draft distribution of 1571 first appeared on History Lab.

]]> From 1570 onwards, more than 11,000 Moriscos, forcibly expelled from their place of origin by the Spanish Crown, were received in Extremadura. The largest group arrived in Extremadura at the end of 1570 (some 6,800 from Granada), with the second wave arriving almost a year later.
In the present case, the distribution of the places of seigniory in Extremadura was carried out in December 1751, with 1,764 Moriscos arriving in the current territories of Extremadura. A third of the Moriscos remained in the capital, with the majority located at the head of each demarcation, while smaller groups were distributed among various villages.
The situation in which these new residents lived varied greatly depending on their destination, as many rural areas of Extremadura at the time were experiencing marked economic hardship, making it even more difficult for these groups from Granada to settle satisfactorily.

The post Ecclesiastical contribution to the royal treasury (1519-1555) first appeared on History Lab.

]]> From the mid-16th century onwards, the clergy lost one of their most precious privileges: exemption from paying taxes to the royal treasury. Payments had to be made through the Subsidio and the Excusado, which soon led to protests about having to contribute to both taxes, and so an agreement was reached to unify both payments by means of an approximation, which in the long term would benefit the Church.
The clergy tried to assert their rights through the General Congregations, who, using their moral authority, wanted to maintain the tax exemption, but it was not enough.
The clergy’s main hostility was because they saw that these extraordinary payments would become permanent, which led to a tug of war between the two sides in search of a negotiated understanding, reflected in the 16th century through the appeal. Thus, for each concession, a negotiated amount was promoted to the royal treasury, which usually accepted after a period of dispute.

The post Income of the Cathedral Chapter of Cádiz during the 17th and 18th centuries first appeared on History Lab.

]]> The cathedral chapter was of great importance in Cadiz during the Ancien Régime, due both to its economic power and the promotion of worship that they carried out during their ceremonies in the cathedrals. One of the most characteristic signs of the prebendados of Cádiz was the number of family members living in their homes, an average of six people. This indicates that the prebendados often took in relatives in a situation of dependence or need.
This fostering was possible due to the high economic potential of the prebendados, who had both their own income and the income they received for the benefit of their social position, such as the tithe and some properties, making up a sufficient patrimony to sustain the way of life they led. The evolution of the Cádiz chapter’s income depended almost directly on agricultural production, stagnating in the first half of the 17th century and growing again in the second half.

]]> When studying family structures, it is easy to recognise the importance of the dowry strategy in fixing a large part of social reproduction, whether through sexual egalitarianism from the beginning of marriage, in the development of the conjugal nucleus over time or in the different stages of inheritance. This model of social reproduction reached its greatest heights in the second half of the 18th century, presenting the possibility of accumulating large amounts of property if these strategies were carried out satisfactorily.
Although theoretically the administration of the wife’s dowry is the responsibility of the husband, by separating the property of each of the spouses it is possible to appreciate the gains or losses that each of them has incurred. The same applies when analysing the nature of the assets brought into the marriage as a whole, differentiating also between what each brings to the marriage.
