I believe there's is no event directly implying the creation of Inquisitorial offices in Castille in 1477 (Sixtus V bull, Exigit Sinceras Devotionis Affectus) and as such, I propose the joint-creation of it. Spain would also need earlier events that insisted on descentralization measures, such as aragonese resistance.Īnother thing, Inquisition, directed from Madrid should be a source of centralization. England is not always leading a prosper economy because it lacks some events that deal with this issue. While in England rational measures like investment on infraestructure, improvement of seeds and the Norfolk System (which made fallow lands unnecesary) led to land engrossing and enclosure (which ultimately destroyed peasants communities), jurisdictional powers as seen in France or Spain protected those same peasants from the attack of agrarian capitalism.Īnd this is one the weakness in today's AGCEEP versions. I believe I can prove the mentioned differences between the three estates, and their alternate ways to agrarian capitalism. There are many books dealing with this topic and I propose a fair discussion.
Name = "ACTIONNAME142013A" #Isabel and Fernando will rule Aragon jointly from now onĬommand = The city rights were restored and the high nobility put under control and balanced by the increase in numbers of the lower nobility. The problems of instability, anarchy and banditry that have plagued Castile and Aragon were solved. The new kings soon showed the power of a strong monarchy, administering justice everywhere, subjugating the rebellious nobles, reorganizing the military orders, and introducing church reforms. Europe was fascinated by the Iberian experiment, where more than the marriage of the kings, it appeared that the countries were marrying in equal terms. #-#After the death of his father Juan, Fernando and his wife Isabel became also kings of Aragon with the same agreement than for Castile, they will both have the same powers, but Fernando will have precedence and exclusivity over the crown. Name = "EVENTNAME142013" #Isabel and Fernando Kings of Aragon #(1479-1490) Isabel and Fernando kings of Aragon This is the kind of reform I propose for spanish events: The Valois dinasty greatly improved their tax incomes by colecting new taxes from this farmers and avoiding aristocracy to directly imposing their rules. In the case of France (the middle-ground example), centralization was possible due to the royal protection of small land owners. So, I propose that we start using this terms that comparative history has started to reveal. England was greatly centralized but with a relatively economicaly weak monarchy, while Spain was descentralized but it's monarchy was (with the exception of the civil war in the 15th century) very rich. Being so, aristocracy, cities, monasteries, had to depend on more rational incomes, such as those related to production, farming, etc. Here Jurisdictional powers from nobility (monopolies, justice, etc) were non-existant or very limited by royal authority. If we compare Medieval Castille, greatly descentralized to, let's say, Medieval England differences are overwhelming. It's true Catholic Kings fought hard to maintain a powerful kingdom in the Peninsula, but reality proved that both kingdoms (Aragon and Castille) could not be united and that cities and many lords kept an important independence from the crown. I think there's too much emphasis on centralization values here. Especially in the conception of the Kingdom of Spain.
Now, I think there are some changes to be made in the second part of 15th century.
Playing the latest version of AGCEEP has proved to be entertaining and compared to the vanilla version, much more interesting in historical terms. First of all, I would like to congrat everyone that has contribued with castilian, portuguese, aragonese, navarre and granada events.
