La evolución del feudalismo en el reino de Galicia entre los siglos IX y XII: poder, sociedad y dependencia

Abstract

ABSTRACT Feudalism has been an important topic of discussion within medieval studies in recent years. This article aims to analyze the characteristics and evolution of feudalism in the kingdom of Galicia between the ninth and twelfth centuries. My research provides significant results from the study of elements of power with the society that was developing. This study describes the origins of the feudal mechanism of dependency in the ninth century, as well as the development and progressive attachment to aristocracy in the mid eleventh century. Furthermore, it investigates the construction of feudal vassalage relationships, traditionally known as institutional, particularly present from the first quarter of the twelfth century onwards.
