Old Catalonia
Old Catalonia (Catalan: Catalunya Vella) was a legal concept created by Catalan jurist in the second quarter of the thirteenth century to refer to the territories of Catalonia containing remensa peasants from the Diocese of Girona, the eastern half of the Diocese of Vic and the portion of the Archdiocese of Barcelona east of the Llobregat river. In the 9th and 10th centuries these territories, like all of ancient or Marca Hispanica had been an area of relative freedom for the peasants. But in the 11th century, as a result of the feudal revolution and the weakening of the noble auctoritas, the nobles began to impose burdensome evil customs on the peasants. The situation worsened in the 12th century, when the nobility used their powers to attach the peasants to their lands, to keep them from fleeing to the new southern lands conquered by Ramon Berenguer IV, and by such attachment turning them into remensa peasants. At the end of the thirteenth century, jurist and Canon Pere Alb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
