A medieval copy of the Charter of Belorado (Burgos)
Keywords:
Belorado, charter, municipal autonomy, market and fair.
Abstract
The marriage of Alfonso I The Fighting with Urraca became a civil war. The Aragonese king always took the Camino de Santiago as a way to penetrate in Castile. Belorado is situated at its beginning and in a gorge, and it was fortified by the King. After the divorce, the King favored the villa with a charter granted in 1116, meant to attract the neighboring populations. It conceded municipal autonomy and set a market day and a fair, which was to be one of the oldest in Spain. The issue we publish here corresponds to a scroll of the late Middle Ages and its text is somewhat different to the ones published so far.Format
