Abstract

The late medieval period in Cartagena, and this historical elapse on the coast of the Kingdom of Murcia, perfectly reflects the marginalization that the Mediterranean affairs had overall in the political maneuvers of the Kingdom of Castile at that time. Because of this, the reign of Henry III, and his gaze towards the Mediterranean sea (also in the context of internal and external strengthening of royal authority) is an interesting episode between the 14th and 15th centuries. An example of the third Trastámara Mediterranean vocation, is the presence of two Cartagenian solicitors in the courts of Toledo in 1402, because it involves the incorporation of a very peripheral city (lost in a very serious demographic crisis) at the institution that, within the theoretical framework, maintaining the earthly power of the crown.
