Description

This chapter covers the legal and economic relationship between Hipòlita Roís de Liori, Countess of Palamós, and the emphiteutes of various baronies in the Baix Llobregat. It is a key example of the feudal system in force in 16th century Catalonia, where the lords maintained direct control over the land and the peasants exploited its use in exchange for censuses. The document makes it possible to study taxation, property and territorial organization at a time of transition towards more modern forms of local government.
