Abstract
ABSTRACTAs a result of its frequent focus on the confrontation between monarchy and nobility, historiography about Castilian politics has tended to underestimate the role of cities. Through the study of extraordinary taxation, which in this case becomes a privileged point of observation, in this article we will analyse some aspects of the complex relations between king and kingdom throughout this hectic period. Likewise, it is possible to notice how this kind of taxation developed into a way of integrating municipal elites into state political structures. This was possible thanks to the articulation of negotiation spaces, among which the Castilian Parliament stands out. Despite what has traditionally been considered, this institution appears to have enjoyed a high capacity to face up to the monarch.Abreviaturas utilizadas: Act.
