The espionage in the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula at the beginning of the fifteenth century
Abstract
This work studies espionage in the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula at the beginning of the fifteenth century and pays special attention to three historical moments: the military campaigns in 1407 and 1410 against the kingdom of Granada; the confrontation between Fernando I from Aragón and the Count of Urgel in 1413 and later with his mother, D.ª Margarita, and the Portuguese preparations for the taking of Ceuta in 1415. In addition, this work analyses different matters such as the category of the agents and the places where they were spying, the length of their missions and the resources they used, as well as their capture and the imposed punishments.Downloads
