Abstract

The lands of Lower Navarre (also known as Ultrapuertos) were immersed in a complex reality as they were located in a zone of friction between the Navarrese, the English and the French. Nevertheless, noble families that inhabited this space kept a delicate balancing act with respect to the royal Navarrese power. On the one hand, the aristocracy managed to maintain their privileges and avoided meddling by royal forces in the territory. On the other hand, they carefully chose their loyalties, often moving from one camp to the other. Meanwhile, they did not hesitate to form part of the royal Navarrese power structure within the army or the upper echelons of the administration of the Kingdom. This attests to the survival strategy and adaptability of the nobility of Lower Navarre.
