Abstract


The Castilian monarchy promulgated, between 1494 and 1511, one series of ordinances with which to regulate and to improve the textile production. These laws were seeking to increase the technical quality of the cloths. For it, one entrusted the control of the production for the guilds organizations of the principal cities. Which faced for the above mentioned control the big producers, who were claiming forms of organization of capitalist character, which they could not implant due to the limitations imposed by the royal laws. That of this form did that the trade-union system of textile production was kept in force during the whole Modern Age.
