A linguagem política dos foros de Castelo Rodrigo. Identidade e exclusão no contexto municipal (raia luso-leonesa: século XIII)

Abstract

The purpose of the present work is to discuss the council aristocracy mechanisms' used to viabilize the consolidation of a certain socio-politic environment during the 13th century. On the basis of the so-called foros extensos from Castelo Rodrigo —understood, theirselves, as an understanding proposal, as well as a form of interference with the mentioned environment— and paying particular attention to the identity construction, both inclusive and exclusive, we try to decodify the socio-politic language of the foros.
