Description

This parchment, issued by Guerau Alemany de Cervelló as governor general of Catalonia, redeems the city of Lleida and its municipal representatives. The uniqueness of the document lies in the preservation of its hanging red wax seal, a symbol of authority and legal authenticity. This seal not only reinforces the validity of the act, but also constitutes an exceptional material witness to the documentary culture and administrative ceremonial of the late Middle Ages. It is a key piece for understanding the relationship between the delegated royal power and the Catalan municipal institutions.
