LOS GALLEGOS EN SEVILLA EN EL SIGLO XV. CUESTIONES PREVIAS: NÚMERO, UBICACIÓN, NIVELES SOCIO-PROFESIONALES Y RELACIONALES

Abstract

Late medieval Seville was, without question, very receptive to new residents from many different locations and of many different profession, many of whon, particularly foreing inmigrants, were y’s mercantile development. But certain Castilian groups were also involved in this development. Previously the Basque presence in the city has been analyzed from 13th to the 15th century, as has the role of new residents from Burgos beginning in the last third of the 15th century. It is impossible to appreciate the role that any foreign group plays in a society withoun knowing the population and political influence of the other groups as well. For this reason, and there were substantial numbers of Galicians not only in seville itself but aso in te surrounding region, than we must study the role of the Galicians who were integrated into these zones throughout the 15th century.
