Abstract


This study presents a portrait of the Catalan-Aragonese feudal lords of Sardinia between 1324 and 1420 who originated as citizens. A brief outline of the number and importance of citizens owning feudal property, which were stablished with the introduction of feudalism on the island, is followed by a social profile of these citizens. Then, a discussion of the fiefs possessed on the island and, in particular, the value of feudal rents until 1358 makes evident who the most prominent of the urban nobility were. This study explains how from 1355 forward the politics of Pedro IV reduced the number of citizen-owned feudal properties and. subsequently, introduced a change in the status of some citizens with the confering of titles of knighthood on the island. The article concludes with a biography of one family, the Oulomar.
