The post Navarrese lay lordships with jurisdiction in the second half of the 15th century first appeared on History Lab.

]]> At the beginning of the Modern Age, the different Hispanic kings, in their search for support, gradually ceded part of their jurisdiction to the nobility, but during the second half of the 15th century, the towns tried to take advantage of the wars between the Agramonteses and the Beaumonteses to gain the support of the monarchs. The intention of the towns, which did not resign themselves to losing their royal status, was to free themselves from seignorial jurisdiction, a fact that was maintained throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.
Navarre also underwent this process of cession of royal patrimony, with the high nobility receiving noble titles accompanied by extensive lordships with their corresponding rents and jurisdiction. Moreover, they tried to usurp these rights when circumstances were favourable to them.
This situation continued in Navarre until the 17th century, with the recovery of territories by the Crown interceding with new alienations in the search for resources for a royal treasury in crisis.

The post Leases of monopoly rights in Valencia during the 17th century first appeared on History Lab.

]]> During the Ancien Régime, monopoly rights constituted one of the fundamental pillars of the seigniorial regime. The author shows how monopolies were produced in two Valencian manors, Alfara and Burjasot. The most common places where this right was applied were in the mill, oven, butcher’s shop and orchard. Lease contracts were usually short term; between 4 and 10 years at their longest. In turn, payment was stipulated in annual instalments, although depending on the leased property, these payments could be paid in different numbers: from monthly payments for some mills, to single payments for butcheries, orchards or shops. With monopoly rights, tenants were assured of fixed rents, although this had a negative impact on the development of productive forces as the feudal organisation of production stagnated.
