Livestock farming in Casarabonela, land of Málaga, after the Castilian conquest (15th-16th centuries)
Abstract
This study of the town of Casarabonela (Málaga, Kingdom of Granada) raises questions about livestock farming in the context of the Castilian-Andalusian conquest and colonisation. The original population, which remained numerically superior until 1570, maintained different strategies and practices regarding livestock compared to the Castilian settlers. Of special relevance is the imposition of livestock regulations which favoured large livestock owners. Lastly, the changes and imbalance between agriculture and livestock farming following the replacement of the Moorish inhabitants by Old Christian settlers in the last third of the 16th century are highlighted.
