The public space was the preferred place for this, but we find other areas associated with local festivities

]]> The main protagonist of the conflict in the kingdom of Navarre during the modern period was the youth. The author of the resource analyses 800 lawsuits that took place between 1512 and 1808 in the civil and ecclesiastical courts of this territory. Young people accounted for 48% of those causing public disorder, followed by the clergy (14%), professionals (12%) and women and farmers and stockbreeders (both with 8%). The promoters of the conflicts targeted local authorities (43%), other youths and women (20% and 10% respectively). Where were the disturbances committed? The resource shows that the predominant place of the perpetrators was the street (52%). This was followed by the public square with 21% of the total number of quarrels. Less frequent was the incidence of disorder in sacred spaces (9%), with the most intense months being the months of processions and pilgrimages: April and May.

The post Dresses of young Madrilenians according to their typology (1701-1750) first appeared on History Lab.

]]> According to the study, in the first half of the 18th century, the young people of Madrid preferred to wear French-style dress, i.e. a jacket, jacket and breeches. On the other hand, Spanish dress was relegated to a much smaller number; 26 as opposed to 9 references to clothing. The French influence in Spain on a cultural level took off with the change of power on the Spanish throne after the War of the Spanish Succession. The French style also included the characteristic accessories of Versailles, such as fine hats with silver ribbons, hairpieces and their own dresses. However, the quality and composition of Spanish clothing was still of a higher quality. From the Notarial Protocols studied, all the imported French dresses were of poorer quality than the Spanish or English ones. Thus, the fine cloth dress from Segobia, lined in black serge, was valued at 240 reales; and the military dress with jacket, jacket and two pairs of fine cloth breeches from England was valued at 480.

]]> During the second half of the 18th century, young people in Madrid showed a change in trends with respect to the professional groups who wore French garments. If at the beginning of the century it was the military, nobles and officers of the Royal Household who most used Gallic clothing, the “fashion” gradually spread to the bourgeois classes linked to education, technical competence, security, doctors and apothecaries. Twenty percent of this group was now above the military, the nobility and the Royal Household (4%, 5% and 6% respectively), as well as clerks, businessmen and those connected with the guilds and crafts. Overall, French-style dress became the fashion throughout the 18th century.

The post Distribution of children in Jorquera and Casas Ibáñez according to sex and age (1752-1753) first appeared on History Lab.

]]> During the years of the Ensenada Cadastre, in the municipalities of Jorquera and Casas Ibáñez (Albacete) 78% of the children were under 18 years of age. Of these, 54% were male. Extending the margin up to the age of 25, the age at which they were considered to be of legal age in the mid-18th century, the figures only become more consolidated. From the age of 25 onwards, the number of offspring in the household dropped significantly to only 5%. The author offers us the key to the demographic dynamics of youth: the age of entry into marriage (23 for women and 25 for men). The later entry into marriage on the part of men underpinned their status as offspring belonging to the original family household, as they were conditioned by their father’s apprenticeship in the trade. In the families of artisans, muleteers or small farmers, this help in the workforce was an important added value. On the other hand, during the sample’s childhood, there was a predominance of males over females, confirming the demographic rule that, in general, more males than females were born.

The post Inheritance of free goods to the sons of the León nobility (Aldermen of the city of León) first appeared on History Lab.

]]> The transmission of property through inheritance was one of the most effective family policies for laying the foundations of social reproduction. The Castilian inheritance system provided the testator with the flexibility to distribute his property equally or to accumulate in one individual a large part of the estate to be inherited. However, the form of inheritance was closely related to the amount of assets at the testator’s disposal. In the case of the noble rulers of the city of León, the sons received 82.4% of the total amounts transmitted by the legitimate; the remaining 17.6% was destined to improvements. Within the improvements, the Quinto de mejora and the Tercio de libre disposición went to a single heir. Although with modest amounts, the Leonese nobility tended to prioritise the unequal transmission of the property, favouring a first-born to avoid its atomisation. The present resource is a sample of the social practices and the differentiated mentality, with a material basis, which was rooted in the different social profiles.

]]> The resource deals with the hereditary strategy of the town councillors of the city of León during the 18th and half of the 19th century. The author shows how a first-born child, male or female, was favoured to the detriment of the other offspring. Thus, we can see that the amounts of free designation received by the lucky ones could be up to three times that of the rest of the siblings. However, in most cases, the amounts of difference were modest: with the legitimate share balanced, the free disposal assets hardly represented a significant contribution.
