The chancellor Juan Martínez del Castillo: Biographical and institutional profile of a Trastamaran royal bureaucrat (1369-1409)
Abstract
The study of one of the most outstanding yet least-known bureaucratic-administrative figures at the beginnings of the Castilian Trastámara monarchy, that of the chancellor of the secret seal, Juan Martínez del Castillo. For the first time, this study considers traces from his biography and trajectory of service to the Crown, a path that in many of ways would prove of great relevance to the long and complex process of the consolidation of royal power and the structures that one century later, in the times of the Catholic Monarchs and Charles I, would lead to the so-called “Modern State”.Downloads
