Nuevas reflexiones sobre la conquista y pérdida cristiana del Oriente del Reino de Granada (1433-1447) a la luz de documentos del Archivo de la Catedral de Murcia.

Abstract

The conquest of Granada´s fortresses of Xiquena and Tirieza in 1433 by the warlord of Murcia´s kingdom Alonso Yáñez Fajardo and the governor of Lorca Martín Fernández Piñero was the beginning of a period of Castilian progress on the militar and institutional control in the Eastern sector of the Kingdom of Granada at the same time that some victories in the western took place. However, this progress was interrupted in the 1440s, when most of the fortresses were lost, except the two mentioned. During the Castilian control, an institutional configuration of territory was tested, thanks to the structures and population of the kingdoms of Murcia and Jaén, together with the bishopric of Cartagena and the archbishopric of Toledo. This article attempts to analyze the Castilian period using documents of Murcia´s Cathedral Archive.
