Description
Summary:This article explores the hypothesis that during the late medieval and early modern periods, Catalan society was structured around the political practice of agreements, or ‘pacts’, between the monarch and the realm, formalised within the framework of the Corts Catalanes (Catalan Parliament). By critically engaging with the historiography on this topic, this study traces the evolution of legal observance in Catalonia across various stages of these periods, culminating in the abolition of Catalan public law following the War of the Spanish Succession.
