Provisions of the Council of Orders (Order of Santiago) regarding the town, commander and commandery of Socuéllamos (1517-1556)
Abstract
This contribution brings together a collection of almost 400 registers of documents relating to the period of Emperor Charles’ administration and the town of Socuéllamos in La Mancha, where both local issues and examples of the policies being developed by the monarchy during those years can be seen. Of particular note is the large number of provisions that refer specifically to disputes over boundaries and land use between this town and neighbouring villages, evidence of the human, livestock and economic growth that was taking place at that time.
