Abstract

This study looks at the death penalty in Navarre, reflecting on the prolonged duration of criminalization processes and their implications for social change. Archival sources are used to find answers to specific questions: Was the death penalty commonly used during the Ancien Régime and the transition towards a liberal state, or was it an extreme, isolated measure? What was the relationship between power and piety? What characterized the evolution of institutions using the most severe form of punishment with convicted individuals? How many defendants were actually executed and what were the reasons?
