Factores medioambientales y sociales entran en juego en la organización de los territorios, en su poblamiento y en el aprovechamiento de sus recursos.
En el 1147, las tierras del "Campo de Calatrava", situadas en la meseta meridional castellana, pasaron a depender del reino de Castilla. Una década más tarde, la Orden de Calatrava se hizo cargo de ellas. Estos dos acontecimientos marcaron el inicio de una etapa en la que estos territorios experimentaron profundas transformaciones para acomodarse a las demandas de la sociedad castellana.
Este libro aborda el análisis de cómo se produjeron dichos cambios que afectaron a las comunidades que habitaban estas tierras, al medio ambiente y a los modos de interacción entre ambos.

Dependence and loss of freedom – be it partial or total – go hand in hand. During the Middle Ages, people were bonded together through a wide variety of ties that limited their freedom in different ways and to variable degrees.This volume explores these forms of unfreedom. Focusing on both the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean from the eighth century until the fifteenth, the contributors focus on aspects such as transformations of terminology, implementation of different legal traditions across time and space, establishment and dissolution of bonds, and details of everyday life attached to these situations.
Looking at the “ties that bind”, that is, the obligations acquired and everyday implications of the establishment of that dependence, this volume reflects on concepts such as captivity, slavery, manumission and serfdom, among others, and their appearance in the sources.

How did members of minority groups in the medieval Mediterranean world interact with contemporaries belonging to other minorities, and with members of the ascendant majority groups? In what ways did those contacts affect their social positions and identities? The essays collected in this volume approach these questions from a variety of angles, examining polemic, social norms, economic exchange, linguistic transformations, and power dynamics.
The papers compiled here se essays recast the concept of minority — as a mutable condition rather than a fixed group designation — and explore previously-neglected collective and individual interactions between and among minorities around the medieval Mediterranean basin. Minorities are often defined as such because they were in some way excluded from access to resources or denied participation as a consequence of a group affiliation or facet of their identity. Yet, at times their distinctiveness also lay in less in their exclusion than in particular ways of relating to spheres of power, whether political or moral, and to in certain dissenting conceptions of the world. Through these contributions we seek to shed light on both the continuities that such interactions displayed across intervals of space and time, and the changes that they underwent in particular locales and historical moments.

These records are usually known as cartas de población or population charters and were issued in the context of the settlement of populations in a given area. Methods derived from historical semantics are applied to these texts, and the analysis explores the ways in which the existing asymmetrical power re lationships were refl ected not only in the contents of the charters but also in the grammar and expressions used to formulate them.

Dichos documentos han sido localizados en el Archivo de la Real Chancillería de Granada y están relacionados con la actividad ganadera y los conflictos que su proyección espacial suscitó con la vecina población de Llera. Estos documentos permiten percibir nuevos aspectos sobre el desarrollo de esta población y su relación con sus señores, la Orden de Santiago.

El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar de nuevo sobre los musulmanes que vivieron bajo el dominio de la Orden de Calatrava en la Baja Edad Media en Castilla. Las investigaciones llevadas a cabo en los últimos años han mostrado que la presencia islámica en estas tierras es más compleja de lo que se venía asumiendo y va más allá de las aljamas y los esclavos de la orden. En consecuencia, deben plantearse preguntas sobre cómo las comunidades rurales que hubo en estos territorios fueron encuadradas por las autoridades cristianas para recepción de rentas y otros aspectos de la vida cotidiana. Abstract. This article examines Muslims who lived under the rule of the military Order of Calatrava in Medieval Castile. Recent studies have shown that the presence of Muslims in the lands administered by this military order was more complex and varied than it had been previously suspected, and that it goes beyond slaves and aljamas. As a consequence, new questions must be posed as to how Muslim rural communities in these lands were framed by Christian authorities both to collect the revenue they created and regarding other aspects of everyday life.

Las ordenanzas de Mestanza de 1530: una aportación al proyecto de ordenamiento jurídico local Carlos José Riquelme Jiménez, Clara Almagro Vidal Cuadernos de estudios manchegos, 35, pp. 309-340, 2010

Estas ordenanzas son reflejo de cómo a lo largo del siglo XVI, la actividad concejil en un gran número de poblaciones castellano-manchegas estuvo marcada por las tensiones generadas entre el aprovechamiento agrícola y ganadero del territorio. Así, instituciones como la Mesta, amparadas por una legislación real protectora de sus privilegios, condicionaron, de manera decisiva, la aparición de un conjunto de ordenanzas locales que, si bien, en múltiples aspectos respetaron el derecho regio, en no pocas ocasiones anhelaron un régimen jurídico especial, para proteger, precisamente, a sus vecinos y a sus intereses. ABSTRACT: This paper aims to present and analyse the ordinances established in Mestanza (Ciudad Real) in 1530. These regulations are an example of how the rivalry between peasants and cattle-raisers determined the council's actions in a great number of towns in Castile-La Mancha. Institutions related to cattle-raising such as the Mesta were protected by specific legislation 300 1 PORRAS ARBOLEDAS, Pedro Andrés, "Las ordenanzas municipales.

En ellos, se establecen las condiciones que debían cumplir para su actividad tanto los arrendadores de las rentas como los mineros y plomeros del Partido de Almodóvar, el cual se extendía por el término de Abenójar y el valle de Alcudia, en Ciudad Real, y Córdoba, de gran importancia especialmente a finales de la Edad Media e inicios de la Moderna para la producción de plomo y plata. Estos textos, así como otras noticias recopiladas, muestran normativas vigentes en aquellos momentos, conflictos y costumbres que afectaban a las minas y su explotación, problemas de corrupción en su administración o limitaciones intrínsecas a las propias ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to approach conditions under which non-iron mining developed in Castile during the Early Modern period. The main source used for this purpose, dating from the 1530s, established the terms to be held by the administrators and by the workers in the area called Partido de Almodovar, which included the district of Cordoba, Abenojar and the valley of Alcudia, the latter two in Ciudad Real. At the time, it was an important district for the production of lead and silver. These texts, together with other references, show aspects such as the regulations in force at that moment, common conflicts and uses that affected the mines and their operation, corruption in their administration, or the limitations intrinsic to the mining companies themselves. Many features of the mining activities described in these texts can be traced back to the Middle Ages, for which our knowledge is much more limited. 104-132, y «La minería española en la Edad Moderna: una aproximación a su estudio Fasc. 2)», Boletín Geológico Minero, XCVIII (1987), fasc. 2, pp. 118-140.
