Abstract

The historical analysis of urban governs’ contribution in Castile of Catholic Monarchs (1474-1504) has been conditioned by historiography that paid attention on the royal authority and the fight between king and lords to control the Kingdom power during the Trastamara’s period (1369-1504). This paper tries to study the participation of the realengo cities. This cities governed large territories with jurisdictional power. Cities gave support for the political change of the Kingdom interested in an ambitious foreign policy that needed a good administration. During this reign a political collaboration was established with the cities, this recovered the importance of the agreement and alliance. From this point of view this paper evaluates the actions of the different Kingdom powers and the role of the Monarchy. It also looks at the King-subject relationship as the base of Kingdom government.
