El aprovechamiento de términos a fines de la Edad Media castellana en las Comunidades de Villa y Tierra serranas: Plasencia, Béjar, Valdecorneja, Arenas, Mombeltrán y Candeleda

Abstract

The use of grounds for pasture and, afterwards, the organisation of the whole territory of High Extremadura, Béjar and Gredos Mounts in communities implied the enrichment not only of the village goods, but also of the council and the private goods. This was due to the council and seigniorial arrangements that differently treated the city inhabitants and the ones who lived in the country or who were vassals of a landlord, as far as the use of the ground for pasture, ploughing, hunting, fishing and wood supply was concerned. On the other hand, this use would maintain the area populated.
