FORMACIÓN DEL SEÑORÍO MANUELINO EN LAS TIERRAS ALICANTINAS DEL VALLE DEL VINALOPÓ (SEGUNDA MITAD DEL SIGLO XIII)

Abstract

During second half of 13th century, the Christian Conquest of Vinalopó’s Valley (Alicante) has enabled to form a large feudal property, in the old Sharq Al-Andalus, in the lands of the Muslim King of Murcia. That valley belongs now to the well known family of the Manueles, specifically related to the new Christian King, Alfonso X el Sabio. After several historical controversies (military, political, nobility, economic, ecclesiastical), the large property which was further south goes from Castilian to Aragonese crown, in the early 14th century.
