Urban Enclaves and Public Disorder in the Kingdom of Navarre (1553-1786)

The distribution of the urban world in the kingdom of Navarre between 1553 and 1786 shows a predominance in the southern part of the kingdom. The censuses of the aforementioned dates bear witness to this. The 13 towns were: Pamplona, located in the centre, the first link in a chain that descends southwards through Puente la Reina, Estella, Sangüesa, Larraga, Tafalla, Miranda de Arga, Falces, Peralta, Villafranca, Tudela, Corella and Cascante. The author of the appeal analyses it in terms of conflict through public disorder. As he points out, the primary sources reveal a logical result: the existence of more disorder in those urban centres with larger populations. A total of 800 processes of all kinds which, although they occurred with greater frequency and intensity, rural areas were not exempt from them.
