Description

The most remarkable fact of this document is the assimilation of Masquefa as a street in Barcelona and its inhabitants as citizens of the same city. This led to an improvement because it meant ceasing to be subject to a feudal lord who could be much more arbitrary and variable, and moving to the realm of royal jurisdiction, with much clearer, consolidated and favorable regulations.
