To Govern the Council, to Serve the Lord: the "Regidores" of the Council of Piedrahíta in the Fifteenth Century
Abstract
In this work we intend to understand the sociopolitical dynamics in a manorial council based on the analysis of the activity of the main officials. The study of municipal management through the documents of the council of Piedrahíta of the fifteenth century allows recognizing the sociological qualities of the ruling elite and the characteristics of local offices. In this way, the research will take into account the relationships of the urban authorities with the manorial power of the House of Alba, from the performances of the leading figures.
