Resum
La present monografia ofereix una doble contribució al coneixement dels sistemes de redempció de captius a la Corona d'Aragó baixmedieval. En primer lloc, gràcies a l'anàlisi de les taxes que gravaven el moviment de musulmans presents en territori reial, es descriuen els mitjans, el volum i les vies de retorn d'aquells captius de religió islàmica que eren rescatats i embarcats en els principals ports de la Corona -els de Barcelona, València i Mallorca- cap als seus territoris d'origen. En segon lloc, i en sentit contrari, s'estudia el paper, l'àmbit d'acció i la productivitat d'una institució sorgida a inicis del segle XV a l'illa de Mallorca, encapçalada pels jurats de la ciutat i regne i pel capítol catedralici, amb la intenció de recaptar ajudes per als cristians captius a terres islàmiques. A la vegada, l'estudi d'aquestes vies de redempció posa de manifest tota una sèrie de fenòmens transversals al rescat de captius, que també són abordats en el llibre: des de les principals àrees d'intercanvi comercial fins a l'ús d'embarcacions de diversa tipologia, passant pels agents intervinents en l'empresa dels rescats i la combinació de negocis en uns mateixos viatges.

El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de proporcionar una primera aproximación al ascenso social, político y económico que experimentaron algunos sujetos mallorquines a través de su participación en la empresa napolitana de Alfonso el Magnánimo. Mediante el cotejo de documentación real-sobre todo, de registros fiscales y de correspondencia-se identifican algunos de los mallorquines que participaron en las campañas navales, sobre todo de los que lo hicieron mediante el aprovisionamiento de efectivos bélicos y, en especial, de galeras. Se analizan sus aportaciones, así como las compensaciones que recibieron por parte de la monarquía, y se dibuja, en conclusión, una vía de promoción social a través de la contribución en las empresas navales.

EN Abstract. The aim of this article is to provide a first approach to the social, political and economic ascent experienced by some Mallorcan subjects by their participation in the Neapolitan enterprise of Alfonso the Magnanimous. Through the comparison of royal sources-mostly, fiscal records and correspondence registers-some of the Mallorcans who participated in the naval campaigns are identified, mainly those who did so through the provisioning of galleys for the war.

It focuses on a landmark case such as that of the Majorcan skipper Ponç Descatllar. Through his attempts to escape justice after being accused of acting with his galley against the King’s subjects, his case becomes representative of both the crimes that could be charged to people accused of committing illegitimate attacks on the seas and the jurisdictional course that a case like his could take. The article examines which medieval courts (royal, ecclesiastical,
maritime and mercantile) could judge a person informally categorized as a
pirate, as well as intervene in different aspects derived from his actions, such as the reparation of damages or the return of property to the victims. It demonstrates how, in the absence of a specific crime of piracy in medieval times, maritime outrages were included in other types of crimes, such as treason or lèse-majesté. Moreover, through the accused’s contacts and the efforts of Barcelona’s municipal authorities to incriminate him, it shows the varied and conflicting interests of certain jurisdictional powers, acting for and against Ponç, under whose influence the justice system acted. This case becomes, at the same time, a reflection of the increasingly evident
differences between Barcelona’s municipal leaders and the monarch, and a demonstration of urban government intervention in the process of piracy criminalization.

Uno de ellos fue la concesión real generalmente conocida como Vi vel gratia, la cual les permitía apoderarse de los cargamentos de vituallas ajenas en casos de necesidad ex-trema. Dicho privilegio, aplicado al transporte marítimo de cereales, supuso la autorización de prácticas anterior-mente consideradas como piráticas, ahora amparadas por disposiciones reales circunscritas a las épocas de carestía. Aun así, tales actividades fueron la base de conflictos, especialmente entre las ciudades marítimas de la Corona. Palabras clave: trigo, piratería, corso, abastecimiento municipal, conflictividad marítima.

Throughout the Late Middle Ages, the cities of the Crown of Aragon obtained by the sovereign several resources to stock up on cereals and especially wheat. One of these was the royal grant generally known as Vi vel gratia, that allowed them to seize shipments of foreign victuals in cases of extreme need. That privilege, applied to maritime transport of grain, involved the authorization of practices previously considered as piratical, now protected by provisions of the King applied only in times of famine. Even so, such activities were the basis of conflicts, especially between the maritime cities of the Crown. This article analyzes the use of this royal grant by the great coastal cities of the Crown of Aragon –notably Barcelona, Valencia and Mallorca– in order to ensure their own supply by sea, particularly during dearth. The strategy deployed to this effect is, in fact, a form of institutionalized violence, legally sustained thanks to the support of the Aragonese kings from the first third of the fourteenth century. As can be seen, the objective that legitimated this type of action carried out by the cities was, ultimately, the need to ensure the supply of consumer goods –and especially wheat– to the population. However, it is difficult to think that the adoption of this type of measures would respond exclusively to the solidarity of the agents of the local power. Rather, we are dealing with coercive formulas
used by urban elites to safeguard their interests in a context of conflict, such as the Mediterranean world, during the two last centuries of the Middle Ages. Likewise, the use of these strategies by the urban powers, supported by the officers of the king, became a cause of conflicts between the authorities of Barcelona, Valencia and Mallorca.

Durante todo este tiempo, la historiografía no ha dejado de profundizar en las cuestiones planteadas en aquella obra, de modo que actualmente la cantidad de publicaciones dedicadas a la organización de los ejércitos terrestres, la logística o la diplomacia –por citar tan sólo tres cuestiones clave– se ha multiplicado significativamente. El objetivo de este dossier consiste en reunir una serie de estudios originales dedicados a analizar el papel de la guerra en la evolución de los Estados feudales durante los dos últimos siglos de la Edad Media, a la luz, precisamente, del cuestionario planteado en aquella obra y de su desarrollo por parte de la historiografía más reciente. El contexto escogido para ello es el mundo mediterráneo, concretamente la Corona de Aragón y una selección representativa de los Estados surgidos en la Península Itálica, que incluye el reino de Nápoles, la república de Génova y los dominios de las Casas de Este (Ducado de Ferrara) y Visconti (Señorío de Milán).

El objetivo de este dossier consiste en reunir una serie de estudios originales dedicados a analizar el papel de la guerra en la evolución de los Estados feudales durante los dos últimos siglos de la Edad Media, a la luz, precisamente, del cuestionario planteado en aquella obra y de su desarrollo por parte de la historiografía más reciente. El contexto escogido para ello es el mundo mediterráneo, concretamente la Corona de Aragón y una selección representativa de los Estados surgidos en la Península Itálica, que incluye el reino de Nápoles, la república de Génova y los dominios de las Casas de Este (Ducado de Ferrara) y Visconti (Señorío de Milán).

Workshop internazionale 18-19 maggio 2023 École française de Rome-Sapienza Università di Roma Navigare per esplorare, conoscere, commerciare, conquistare, difendere. È quanto l'uomo compie da sempre; tanto più in quel lungo millennio medievale solitamente descritto come popolato di castelli, abbazie e città turrite e, dunque, di cavalieri, contadini, crociati, monaci e grandi lignaggi familiari. Eppure, il "Medioevo" non era solo questo. La narrazione tradizionale ha, spesso, evitato di contemplarne l'anima marittima, limitata, sovente, al solo piano commerciale, imprescindibile per tratteggiarne i contorni ma necessariamente parziale. Quali erano i principali tipi nautici in uso? Cosa voleva dire prendere il mare? Quali, i segreti della costruzione navale, della navigazione, della guerra sul mare? Quale, la condizione degli equipaggi? Cosa prescriveva la legislazione statutaria? Si tratta di questioni aperte, da affrontare mediante una rinnovata presa di coscienza del patrimonio di fonti scritte marittime e navali a disposizione. È tale aspetto a costituire il focus del workshop internazionale, centrato, in particolar modo, sull'universo latino e sui secoli XI-XV. L'obiettivo è quello di fornire un quadro della struttura e della geografia delle fonti scritte utili per ricostruire il contesto della navigazione nel Mediterraneo, soffermandosi su presenze e assenze, limiti e potenzialità, al fine di favorire lo sviluppo di linee di ricerca espressamente volte all'indagine delle forme documentarie e delle pratiche di scrittura legate al mare.

From the straits of Gibraltar to the Levantine Sea, the late-medieval Mediterranean world was cha... more From the straits of Gibraltar to the Levantine Sea, the late-medieval Mediterranean world was characterised by a continuous series of wars and invasions, in turn marked by sudden accelerations and unexpected interruptions. This complex and frequently changing political environment also affected the government of territories, with rulers seeking for new strategies and tools for strengthening their authority over their subjects and conducting their foreign policies against external powers. The papers of this session explore these and other questions by focusing on a set of specific examples in both the Western and the Eastern Mediterranean, and with a particular stress on single rulers or on groups of people who dealt with the problem of exercising rule. On the one hand, whether Paper A analyses how Brancaleone I Doria operated – also ideologically – to be recognised as a legitimate ruler in Sardinia, Paper B explores how and to what extent Marino Badoaro, the “Rettore” of the duchy of Crete, exploited poetry as a means to rule a foreign city. On the other hand, while paper C illustrates how Alfonso the Magnanimous continued the war for Naples along the 1420s thanks to a various group of people at his service, Paper D focuses on the chancery environment of the Mamluk Sultanate, as a crucial organ for defining the boundaries between Mamluk and Christian’s territories.

In particular, this session’s papers examine the circumstances that produced the change and interruption of a specific status, as well as how societies and communities adapted to new environments. In particular, the first paper focuses on the use of terms such as “segregation” and “marginalisation” in the context of the Western Mediterranean; the following two papers analyse the “double” interruption that marked the life of both Muslim and Christian captives, namely the beginning and the end of their captivity; finally, the last paper examines how Jewish converts practiced their citizenship and to what extent they adapted to their new status in late-medieval Barcelona.
