Although not large, compared with Aragon or Castille, Navarre does present a particular interest, due to its position and because the evolution of its social and political structures followed a course distinct from that in other Spanish lands.

More DescriptionThis book is concerned with the political and socio-economic history of the kingdom of Navarre in the 14th and 15th centuries. Although not large, compared with Aragon or Castille, Navarre does present a particular interest, due to its position and because the evolution of its social and political structures followed a course distinct from that in other Spanish lands. A notable instance is the positive attitude towards the Jewish population, the subject of the last group of articles. Other studies look at political life at the court and at the individual foreign policy of the ruling Evreux dynasty during the long wars of the period; they also examine, on one level, the peculiarities of its governmental and urban structures, and on the other, the careers and fortunes of some of the country's leading personalities. Throughout, the author makes extensive use of the unpublished documentation preserved in the archives of Navarre.Cet ouvrage a pour propos l'histoire politique et socio-économique du royaume de Navarre aux 14e et 15e siècles. Bien que peu étendue, si on la compare a l'Aragon ou à la Castille, la Navarre présente un intérêt précis, de par sa position et l'évolution de ses structures sociales et politiques, qui suivirent un parcours tout à fait distinct des autres pays espagnols. Un exemple a noter, qui fait le sujet du dernier groupe d'articles, est l'attitude positive adoptée vis-à-vis de la population juive. D'autres études portent un regard sur la vie politique de la cour et sur la politique étrangère propre à la dynastie d'Evreux durant les longues guerres de cette période. Y sont aussi examinées, d'une part, les particularités de ces structures gouvernementales et urbaines et d'autre, les carrières et les fortunes de certaines des personnalitiés a la tête du pays. Tout au long du volume, l'auteur se sert abondamment de documents inédits qui ont été préservés dans les archives de Navvare.
