Abstract

CERA, Ágatha Ortega. Silk tax of the Kingdom of Granada: the jewel of the crown of Castile (XV century). População e Sociedade [online]. 2019, n.31, pp.83-109.  Epub June 01, 2021. ISSN 0873-1861.

The purpose of this work is to clarify a tax as complex and confusing as was the silk of the Kingdom of Granada. The different taxes that fell on it, how it began to be leased after the Castilian conquest, the creation and subsequent evolution of its own fiscal circumscription, the mechanisms and strategies that were deployed to prevent fraud, the revenues it generated between 1492-1505 and part of the fiscal and financial business that was deployed around it, are some of the issues that we will address in the following lines.

Keywords : Kingdom of Granada; Crown of Castile; silk tax; Mudejars; Christians.
