Oro blanco. La lana de Aragón en el Mediterráneo medieval (siglos XIII-XV)
Durante la Baja Edad Media, la necesidad de contar con lana adecuada para fabricar los tejidos de altísima calidad, que eran vitales para el gran comercio europeo, estimuló la producción en Aragón, que contaba con enormes recursos naturales para ello. Esta obra describe la forma en que el reino se convirtió en foco de atracción de mercaderes de toda Europa que compraban lana masivamente y favorecían la expansión de una ganadería lanar que aseguró la riqueza del reino aragonés y de sus gentes. Vestir al desnudo, pero también diferenciar a los ricos de los pobres: la lana era fundamental para cumplir estos imperativos y los mercaderes pagaban con oro una materia prima indispensable. Se trata de un capítulo muy importante de la historia económica de Aragón, estudiado por primera vez de manera exhaustiva.
Manual de historia medieval
Los dos autores, José Ángel García de Cortázar y José Ángel Sesma Muñoz, catedráticos de Historia Medieval, respectivamente, en las universidades de Cantabria y Zaragoza, que, en 1997, nos ofrecieron su Historia de la Edad Media. Una síntesis interpretativa, presentan ahora su Manual de Historia Medieval. Con la misma estructura de la obra publicada hace diez años, los autores han reducido sus contenidos informativos para dar entrada a documentos de época y ampliar el aparato cartográfico. De esa forma, el volumen, que sigue incluyendo tanto un Glosario como una Cronología y un Índice analítico, continúa revisando el papel jugado entre los siglos V y XV por las tres áreas de civilización, Bizancio, Islam y Europa y ofrece, en su nuevo formato, un instrumento que, sin duda, se acomoda a las exigencias de los nuevos planes de estudio previstos por las directrices de la convergencia universitaria europea.
The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe
Beginning in the twelfth century, taxation increasingly became an essential component of medieval society in most parts of Europe. The state-building process and relations between princes and their subject cities or between citizens and their rulers were deeply shaped by fiscal practices. Although medieval taxation has produced many publications over the past decades there remains no synthesis of this important subject. This volume provides a comprehensive overview on a European scale and suggests new paths of inquiry. It examines the fiscal systems and practices of medieval Europe, including essential themes such as medieval fiscal theory and the power to tax; royal and urban taxation; and ...
The Hundred Years War
This volume, the first of a two-volume set, is the work of fourteen European and American scholars and focuses on the wider aspects of the Hundred Years. These essays range far afield from the traditional heartlands of Hundred Years War studies to investigate the influence of the conflict on Italy, the Low Countries, and Spain and on such topics as urban history, and the actualities of weapon use on the battlefield. A number of the essays in this collection seek to re-examine old but thorny questions long associated with the conflict, including the real immediate impact of gunpowder technology on siege warfare during the fourteenth century and the “purposeful” strategy of Henry V in stag...

Revolución comercial y cambio social: Aragón y el mundo mediterráneo (siglos XIV-XV)
Esta recopilación de artículos, organizada de manera coherente y unitaria, aborda un problema fundamental en la historia económica más reciente, el desarrollo de los sistemas de mercados y de intercambio comercial en la Baja Edad Media. Lo hace desde el observatorio del Aragón de los siglos XIV y XV, un espacio político, social y económico mediterráneo que cuenta con fuentes privilegiadas para realizar este examen. Contempla también el libro diversos problemas vinculados a este proceso de cambio social y expansión mercantil decisivo a escala de la Península Ibérica, en particular la creación de una fiscalidad estatal sobre el comercio, la formación de redes sociales de mercaderes y la influencia de las instituciones sobre esta dinámica.
The Various Models of Lordship in Europe between the Ninth and Fifteenth Centuries
The status of lord represented one of the most original solutions to the political and social transitions of the Medieval period. Questions still remain unanswered and require further investigation, thus many scholars have collaborated to produce this collection which offers a synthesis of the most recent scholarship. This book relates the workings of seigneurial systems in different areas of Europe, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from Castile to Pontus. In this way, the perspective remains the same, institutional and material. This book emphasises both the institutional and informal forms of lordship identified and crystallised by social and political actors (for example, communities, sovereigns, nobles, bishops, and abbots). It offers a general framework for those approaching the subject for the first time and a useful in-depth tool with numerous regional cases for long-term scholars.
Conversos, Inquisition, and the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain
The Jewish community of medieval Spain was the largest and most important in the West for more than a thousand years, participating fully in cultural and political affairs with Muslim and Christian neighbors. This stable situation began to change in the 1390s, and through the next century hundreds of thousands of Jews converted to Christianity. Norman Roth argues here with detailed documentation that, contrary to popular myth, the conversos were sincere converts who hated (and were hated by) the remaining Jewish community. Roth examines in depth the reasons for the Inquisition against the conversos, and the eventual expulsion of all Jews from Spain. “With scrupulous scholarship based on a ...
