Folios 4-13. 3.- Information made in Algiers before the Trinitarian Redemptor Father Fray Juan Gil and before the notary Pedro de Rivera, at the request of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, in which the services he has done and the great labours he suffered in his captivity are stated.

]]> In the 17th century, in the face of the general situation of crisis, the field of literature experienced a brilliant period. Its main features can be defined as national exaltation, popular character and defence of traditions. Among the different disciplines, the theatre and the picaresque novel stood out. Cervantes, together with Lope de Vega, Quevedo, Calderón and Góngora were some of the main figures of the period.

]]> During the modern age, and specifically during the Hapsburg period, the collection of state taxes was carried out through the court service. In the Crown of Castile, Spanish monarchs had an easier time obtaining the revenue they needed. This was made possible by the corregimental system implemented by the Catholic Monarchs, which allowed the arms of the state to be extended in Castilian cities and towns through the figure of the corregidor. However, the particularity of the legislation of the Crown of Aragon (with the specificity of each kingdom) complicated the granting of services. To this end, the Monarchy deployed a whole mechanism of pacts in each of the territories, such as Valencia, Aragon and Catalonia. It can be seen how the costs gradually increased with the worsening of the situation of the empire in its European wars. With the exhaustion of the Hispanic Monarchy (1580-1610), the problem of Castile’s excessive involvement in imperial expenditure was raised, and so, from the arbitrarian point of view, it was advised to involve the territories of the Crown of Aragon to a greater extent. This was achieved by increasing the costs of the services that the different kingdoms would have to pay to the monarchy.

The post Professional structure of Villamayor de Calatrava (Ciudad Real), according to Memoriales and the Ensenada Cadastre first appeared on History Lab.

]]> The Ensenada Cadastre offers a wealth of information for the analysis of the population and the household in the rural populations of Castile in the mid-18th century. In the professional sphere of the La Mancha region of Ciudad Real during the 18th century, biological reasons led sons to remain in the parental home for longer periods, as access to marriage was later than for women. The latter often worked in the same trade as their fathers, which required a longer period of apprenticeship and was a great economic help for the families of small farmers, artisans or muleteers who were on the edge of subsistence and needed their children to live. The analysis of age by groups of activity shows that in agriculture and livestock farming the dominant population is young, as those under 35 years of age account for 48.6%, followed at a considerable distance by those between 35 and 55 years of age, with 39.8%. The case of crafts and trades is similar to the predominance of the young population (58.3% under 35), compared to 25% and 16% of the other two groups. Only the service sector breaks the distribution, where the majority group is made up of the 35-55 age group.
