El municipio de Vasconia en la Edad Media

Abstract

After making some precisions about the concepts of town and municipality, I shall describe the main characteristics of the medieval municipality: the neighbourhood as a result of its statute, the market and the fortification. I will then describe the different families of local statutes and their evolution and/or perpetuation during the Middle Ages, together with the brotherhoods or late medieval groupings of municipalities, mentioning the latest historiographic contributions. Finally, there will be a brief description of the municipal organisation.
