Every political government of the Crown of Aragón convened the Royal Courts, and had its own laws, tax systems and separate currency.
In this context there is an apparent institutional symmetry in the models for administrative and political organisation of the towns and cities in the territory, constituted from the 13th century as Universitas through the requisite royal concession. The singular nature of the regional institutions in each territory of the Crown of Aragón and the various privileges and royal provisions received by each urban conurbation, led to the creation of specific municipal institutions with their own instruments of selection, social participation and systems of promotion in each of the royal towns and cities in the territory.
This paper aims to analyse the various mechanisms for selection, social participation and promotion systems in the towns and cities of the Crown of Aragón, based on a study of the different electoral systems established in each urban centre, the social profiles of the governing groups in each municipality, and the internal instruments of social and political promotion in each city of the Crown of Aragón between the 13th and 15th centuries.

Scrutiny of the inquisition documents has made it possible to verify religious phenomena such as Messianism and the desire of some Jewish converts to convert back to Judaism, which resulted in a need to move to other cities where they could indulge their religious beliefs and concerns. Some of the Jewish converts who fled the Iberian peninsula and took the path to exile, were disappointed to find that their expectations were not fulfilled, and on disembarking in the city of Valencia, they gave detailed confessions to the Inquisitors of the story of their exile, in addition to denouncing other converts from Judaism who managed to flee and set up in different Mediterranean cities. Based on those witness accounts, we were able to reconstruct the routes of exile and the religious transformations that developed in the Mediterranean at the end of the Middle Ages.

The historical documentation exhumed in recent years shows the vitality of a relevant community in its demographic composition, in its cohesion and in the efforts made by its leaders to achieve adequate political and social integration in the Oriolano municipality. The difficulties they had to achieve full participation in the building offices of the city and the persecution they received with the implementation of the Royal Inquisition, ended up weakening the group at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.

Disputes were taken to Murcia and Orihuela, the most affected towns, to be resolved. This situation lasted from the early 14th century to the second half of the 15th century, when the local authorities of the two towns decided to carry out a precise and definitive demarcation of their borderlands and set out physical boundaries for their corresponding frontiers

the city of Xàtiva during the 15th century, based on evidence from the formal reports filed with the
officers of the Royal Inquisition Court of Valencia. The analysis of the depositions given by a group
of Old Christians who reported various Jewish conversos in Xàtiva has allowed us to examine a wide
range of religious beliefs, festive traditions, customs, gestures, rituals and superstitions practiced by the
Jewish conversos. Our study has also highlighted the inquisitorial zeal and horizontal social control
carried out by some individuals –Old Christians– against other people –Jewish conversos– under the
protection of the Inquisition officers.

We used a study method that can be applied to medium-sized towns and cities that evolved in unique historic or territorial settings. The political development of Orihuela between 1243 and 1304, which included three changes in political leadership, together with the fact that it was named capital of a territorial demarcation, granted city status in 1437 and converted into a key geostrategic and frontier location for both the Crown of Aragon and the Kingdom of Valencia, led local leaders to develop a political discourse and identity that emphasised the city’s frontier position and the monarchy’s need for its services, its position as a territorial capital and the secular aspirations for a diocese of its own. All of this occurred in a pivotal area that played a key part in the bellicose tension that existed between the Iberian Peninsula’s two main powers from the mid-13th through to the 15th century, witnessing such decisive events as the War of the Two Peters and the concentration of significant military efforts by both Crowns in their battle to win over the lands of southern Valencia.

El diezmo en la ciudad de Orihuela en la Edad Media. Los conflictos en torno a la percepción del tributo, en un territorio eclesiástico fronterizo, 2022

One of these episodes of fierce confrontation took place between the municipal authorities of the city of Orihuela and the Bishopric of Cartagena-Murcia. The jurisdictional situation that existed between both instances of power was peculiar, since the arbitral sentence of Torrellas-Elche of 1304-1305, the city of Orihuela, which came to belong to the kingdom of Valencia, which was part of the Crown of Aragon, depended in ecclesiastical matters on the Bishopric of Cartagena, located in the kingdom of Murcia, which was one of the kingdoms of the Crown of Castile. The city of Orihuela was under the political dominion of the Crown of Aragon and under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Crown of Castile, a foreign territory, with which it could even be at war, as happened in the War of the Pedros in the 14th century or in the war of 1429-1430 in the 15th century. The aim of the study is to analyze the role of the reception of the royal tithe granted to the city of Orihuela and the conflicts generated by the jurisdiction and powers over the collection of the tithe in the city of Orihuela in the Middle Ages.
