Gambling control and regulation in the Crown of Castile during the Late Middle Ages
Abstract
Spanish historiography has not been very prone to studying the complex relationship between the practice of gambling and the structures of power in the late Middle Ages in Castile. The Crown, and later the councils, regulated such activities that, based on luck and economic stakes, were always perceived as a contempt for the instituted social behavior. The varied casuistry presented, typical of the various urban settlements studied, allows us to observe peculiar behaviors in the imposition of the norm.
