Abstract

This study proposes to reconsider the methodology regarding the creation of the property of the privileged classes in Late-Medieval Castile. The «mayorazgo» entail system became the property transmission mechanism with most guarantees which resulted from the negotiation processes based on the behaviour of privileged groups in their quest for power. The wide array of ideal-types that characterizes this institution is the product of the flexibility of the system utilized by these privileged groups as strategies of reproduction. The various conditions existing in the entail system is also the result of numerous exceptions contemplated in the rule.
