Abstract
The present study analyses the evolution of the Castilian Cortes during the minority of Juan II. We will examine the situation of parliamentary assemblies in the other Iberian Christian kingdoms, as well as the problems involved with its study in Castile, such as the number of meetings held or the different names given to each of them. We will focus on the phases, its operation and the places of assembly. We will explore the reasons why the Cortes were convened and study the various issues dealt in them, particularly the demands of the citizens, such as specific requests and the relations between the parliament and other government institutions of the Crown. The last section is dedicated to studying the importance the Cortes had for the monarchy and the estates represented in them.
