GONZALEZ, Óscar Villarroel. Diplomacy and the building of monarchy: the participation of ecclesiastics in Castile. Medievalista [online]. 2020, n.28, pp.191-223. ISSN 1646-740X.  https://doi.org/10.4000/medievalista.3313.

In this paper we analyse the development of the royal diplomacy and the contributions of some ecclesiastics among the fourteenth and fifteenth century in Castile. Through the analysis of the birth and grown of the special diplomatic offices in the court and in the royal burocracy, and through some special cases of study of the role played by churchmen in the royal service, here offer some initial results and answers to some questions, and many questions for the future about the operation and development of the castillian diplomacy.

Keywords : Diplomacy; Monarchy; Castile; Burocracy; Ambassadors.
