Description
Summary:This study on nobiliary indebtedness involves two great families of the kingdom of Aragon, an important financial operation that reveals the wealth acquired by the Justicia de Aragón Ferrer de Lanuza, belonging to a second rank aristocratic kinship, on the rise during the 15th century; at the same time, it is an approximation to the level of indebtedness of the Martínez de Luna family, one of the great lineages of the traditional nobility. The business forged between both families allows us to know the characteristics of the secondary market of the census debt, the participants in that market, as well as the involvement of the vassals in the indebtedness of the lords. Ultimately, it makes it possible to verify the strategies of the high nobility to restructure their debt within the framework of the practices of the lineage.
