Talking about cultural heritage means discussing the material and immaterial inheritance from the cultural past of a society, but from the present. In Europe, all too often, the heritage is managed on an economic and ideological basis in line with what sells (tourism) and what is written in the memory and ideology to reinforce the bases of the Nation-State. In the Middle Ages, Islam as a civilisation reached far beyond the Pyrenees, although for a relatively short period. However, it consolidated itself in a good part of the Iberian Peninsula for at least four centuries. From a critical point of view, and that of research, here the treatment the medieval Islamic heritage has received in Catalonia is dealt with, while also seeking space for debate to improve the understanding of this enormous cultural heritage that has too often been forgotten or has been mythified.

In the mid-10th century, the Christian Church creates consecrated cemeteries forbidden to those we might call the ‘bad dead’. At the same time, the landscape and social practices change thanks to a better defined guidance of the faithful on liturgical, sacramental and juridical matters. Between the11th and 13th centuries, the clerics define a number of ‘bad Christian’ groups to be deprived of sepultura ecclesiastica, who were previously regarded by historians of written sources and archaeologists as ‘outsiders’. Although ecclesiastical justice was uncompromising regarding the future of those excommunicated, their reintegration within the Church was pondered. This study aims to understand these funeral bans and to assess the management of burial areas and their surroundings from a new perspective. Not only does it shed light on the future of the bodies deprived of sepultura ecclesiastica, but it also raises the question of the care assumed by the authorities of the ‘bad dead’.

This study analyses the presence of Castilian men of arms in the siege and conquest of Balaguer in 1413. It deals with the challenge of James, the Count of Urgell, to King Ferdinand, and how the latter, after virtually suppressing the various centres of support to his opponent, decided to lead the troops and attack Balaguer, where had taken refuge. Essential for this endeavour were the supplies, a large proportion of which were channelled through members of his family or Castilian collaborators. Attention is given to the nature and the places of the supplies, the means and the tactics used. Then, we focus not only on the members of important lineage of high and middle Castilian nobility collected in chronicles, but also on others whose names only appear in archival documents.

The island of Sardinia is a meeting point for three continents, receiving a constant migration since prehistoric times. The migration from the Iberian Peninsula was permanent and consistent between the 12th and 15th, as stated in Italian and Spanish sources. In this framework, our approach analyse the internal and external mobility of the population and the intense movement of people, ideas and goods that have profoundly marked the different territorial and urban features of the island. The paper shows the different sizes and types of Iberian migrations in Sardinia and emphasizes the distinction between the first migration (those who migrated to Sardinia taking part in the military conquest of the island by the Infante Alfonso) and the second one (those who participated in the subsequent occupation and domination of the island).

This study analyses the social representations and uses of the Conquest of Navarre in 1512 by the troops of Castile. Starting from an analysis of the feelings that David Lowenthal thinks history arouses, the interpretations of it by non-university authors linked to the Basque nationalist groups, Nabarralde and Nafarroa Bizirik will be analysed. The repercussions of these interpretations in the society of Navarre will also be evaluated through a series of cultural manifestations. Some of the most important are those on social networks such as Twitter, where the theories of some of these authors have achieved a large following.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the image of Archbishop of Braga and Antipope Gregory VIII (1118-1121), Maurice “Bourdin”. Often modern historiography has considered Maurice as only a minor figure of the Church History of the beginning of the 12th century, but a reading of the 12th and 13th century literary sources offers a very different image of him. The use of these kinds of sources and the adoption of a strong international perspective would show how it is possible to rethink Maurice “Bourdin”’s life and career and to revise many features of the Roman Church History and its relations with Hispania in the central centuries of the Middle Ages.

This article analyzes the rescue of captives during truces signed by the Nasrid Emirate of Granada (1232-1492) and the Kingdom of Castile during the 13th-15th centuries. We know that one of the major impacts of border activity and battles beyond it was the taking of captives, who suffered the consequences while maintaining a distant hope for rescue. The lucky ones found their freedom, whether because they were indeed rescued or because they escaped. For both capture and rescue, the texts of the truces include a series of mechanisms that respond to a border context undergoing phases of violence and influenced by the internal problems of each state.

Medieval greyware pottery from Sant Miquel de la Vall presents a specific case for the study of this type of production in Catalonia. The archaeometric characterization of a group of 10 samples, consisting of their petrographic analysis based on the microscopical examination of thin sections and their chemical and mineral characterization through the analysis of X Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X Ray Diffraction (XRD), has allowed to identify up to four different productions, some of which have also been retrieved in distant sites located on the areas of Anoia and Girones. The aim of this paper is to present some thoughts about the possible routes of distribution and exchange of pottery in the Middle Age and on the role played by the rivers Segre, Llobregat and Ter in connecting different sites throughout the Catalan landscape between 11th and 12th centuries.

Municipal representation in the assemblies of the Catalan Corts (“Parliament”) is a particularly interesting argument to observe, especially from the point of view of the municipality, the main problems of the city and the intricacies of political and economic power between the city, the monarchy and the other estates. Therefore, analysing the power that the Consell General (“General Council”) of the royal towns and cities of the Crown of Aragon granted its procurators in the Corts enables us to more precisely explain the systems used by the municipality to control their representatives and be better informed of what was happening in the Royal Estate in particular as well as in the general assembly. Lleida will be used as a case study, given its importance and the interesting documentation in its municipal archives during the period of Alfonso the Magnanimous.
