Weekly and hourly distribution of unrest in the kingdom of Navarre (1512-1808)

The study of conflict in the kingdom of Navarre during the Modern Age offers interesting insights into the days of the week and the times when disturbances took place. As can be seen in the resource, low-intensity disorder, most of which was carried out by young people (48%) in the public streets, took place on public holidays (35%) and at night (51%), as can be seen in the resource. After public holidays, Sundays (22%), Tuesdays (13%) and Mondays (9%) were the most conflictive days. In terms of time of day, after the evening phase, the morning phase was followed by the morning (23%), with evenings (16%) and early mornings (10%) being the least preferred times for altercations. It is not surprising that the perpetrators chose the night, the rest of the neighbourhood and the lack of control by the authorities to carry out their disturbances and brawls. The monthly distribution of the disturbances is undoubtedly more curious. Indeed, the months of February, April, May, August and September show the highest values. The author identifies the causes: in February, carnivals, in April and May, processions and pilgrimages, while in August and September, local festivities provided the framework for unrest.
