| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the complaints against the corregidores recorded in the cities of Murcia and Lorca; reports that were a constant during the reign of the Catholic Kings. Although it was a period characterized by a significant development of norms that sought to shape the institution of the corregimiento, outlining its attributions and duties, as well as defining faults and punishments in case of malpractice, this was an incipient process that coexisted with other trends. An example of the last were the tariffs, penalties and fines the corregidores were authorized to enforce while fulfilling their office. Even though the rules set limits to these practices, they were tolerated, allowed and even encouraged in some cases. The study of the accusations on this matter and its treatment will provide us with relevant information to portray the late Middle Ages corregimiento through the practice of its agents. |
