Las Ordenanzas de la Chancillería de Valladolid (1531): ¿unas Ordenanzas castellanas para Navarra?

Abstract

The existence in the General Archive of Navarre of the only known copy of the Bye-Laws of the Chancery of Valladolid of 1531 (the immediate precedent to the great compilation printed in the 17th century) leads the author of this article to examine the possibility that they may have been used as a model in the attempted Castilianisation and standardisation that Navarre institutions suffered under the new Government of Castile. The bye-laws are transcribed in full and preceded by a brief introduction on the historical reasons that may justify their presence in the Archive of the Old Kingdom.
