Abstract

The Purpose of this paper is to analyze the social relationship developed between the kings and their fideles in the Visigoth kingdom of Toledo. It is argued that the link between fideles and kings is mediated by the quest for political benefits and economics profit, understanding this linkage as a mechanism of construction of power among free men. The logic of reciprocity provides us analytical tools so as to understand the structure of the system as a whole.
