Riches of the Church in the Service of Monarchical Power: Ecclesiastical Loans in Fifteenth-Century Castile
Abstract
This study examines the extraordinary war loans the Castilian monarchy imposed during the fifteenth century upon the treasured riches preserved in the ecclesiastical institutions of the kingdom from a political and ideological perspective. It specifically focuses on the extraordinary loans ordered by Isabel I in 1475-1476 during the succession war against her niece Juana and Alfonso V of Portugal as an expression of the extension of royal sovereignty into the ecclesiastical sphere.
