La troncalidad en Guipúzcoa. Notas para su estudio

Abstract

The author addresses the issue of the trunk institution by beginning with an analysis of its conception and typology, based on the authoritative viewpoint of Braga da Cruz, and goes on to study its medieval origin, already present in the Visigothic Liber Iudiciorum, and its peninsular diffusion through Castile and the chartered territories of Aragon, Navarre, Bizkaia and Ayala, in order to analyse the documentation that demonstrates its existence in Gipuzkoa through the charter of San Sebastian and the customary law present throughout its geography, this being the main objective.
