Las pariaspolítica, ideología y explotación económica del enemigo musulmán (s. XI - s. XV)

Resumo

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the payments of parias that were made in the Iberian Peninsula, understood as an annual payment in currency, that a Muslim power made, under military duress, to a Christian power in exchange for a stop of the hostilities or the maintenance of a situation of mutual non-aggression by large military contingents, between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries. We devote sections to the analysis og the parias after the collapse of the Caliphate of Córdoba, with the payments made by the Taifa kingdoms to the kingdoms of Castilla, Aragón, Navarra and the county of Barcelona. We also have analyzed the phenomenon during the twelfth century, in which we treated the payments received by Castile and Aragon by the rebels against Almoravids and Almohads. We have ended by studying the parias payments made by the Nasrid kingdom to Castile during its political existence between the thirteenth century and the fifteenth century. We have shown that parias are not an isolated phenomenon, exclusive of the Iberian Peninsula. Until now, the parias had been studied circumscribed to the Iberian Peninsula, while we have chosen to include other medieval spaces in our study such as the Middle East, France or England. It has also become clear that the parias are not an unique institution, but that they change and have different objectives adapting to the space and the chronology in which they take place.
