Spain, under Habsburg kingdom, 1 Diner – ND

Description

The unification of the different Iberian monarchies in the hands of Carlos I (really the Castilian part would be regency until the death of his mother), was the result of a series of dynastic coincidences, and therefore the personal union must be clearly marked, since With his grandparents we were not yet at that point. Carlos received from his other grandfather Maximilian for similar circumstances the imperial inheritance, but we must not forget that all the territories under his command continued to be governed as diverse heritage possessions. Although Spain or Castilla had the prominence for the recent discovery of America and its conversion into an imperial power, and because its citizens were perhaps the fundamental members of their armies, it is no less true that especially with Carlos, the management of domains It will remain patrimonial, and not national, dividing, splitting or separating sometimes between family members according to their will. The reforms of the Catholic Monarchs had already raided the way to create a strong Castile with a reduced power of the nobles. The Courts normally convened them, because the main thing was the payment of taxes to which they were alien. If they were convened to review the juros (public debt), considering much not legitimate and eliminating, which weakened the nobility more. It also began to reduce tax lease, improving state finances. The Holy Brotherhood improved justice and the absence of private wars, paid by cities. In any case, at Fernando”s death, Carlos proclaims himself from Burgundy King of Castilian possessions and the Cardinal Cisneros regent, he prefers to accept the consummated facts than to look As soon as possible. He arrives in Asturias without speaking Spanish and surrounded by Burgundy Nobles. The Courts of Valladolid and Aragon recognized him as king, and made the economic concessions, with some conditions that the king accepted. Shortly after his grandfather Maximiliano died, and Carlos needed money to ensure the position, so he summoned again Castilian cuts, in which he got the necessary money (there were borders of bribes about some attorneys). Carlos left with the money (bowing one of the conditions imposed on cuts on taking the money from the country), and stopped regent to a foreigner which caused great outrage and a rather generalized revolt, although mostly agglutinated in the war in the war of the communities of Castilla. It is mostly bourgeois and the low nobility was radicalized, alienating the nobility, which was key in the victory of the imperial side. The Germanies of the Kingdom of Valencia were also important. It thus submitted Castilla, and although Carlos took care of changing his cut and filling it with Castilians, in the future, the courts would not be able to face the king effectively, and an absolute monarchy could already be considered. The traditional confrontation between Aragonese and French, which had led the Catholic Monarchs to a marriages policy aimed at isolating France, had perfectly fulfilled with Carlos I, because he controlled to a greater or lesser extent all the enemy”s borders. However, France”s economic potential was far superior to that of imperial possessions, which would serve to balance things. However, the confrontation would be constant.
