The Medieval History Journal, Ahead of Print.
This article studies the development of the political system in the Kingdom of Valencia between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. It analyses the evolution of, and relations between, the general legal system, the royal government and administration and the main organs of power representing the political community of the kingdom. This case, which is supported by extraordinarily rich legislative and parliamentary sources, is an excellent example of the political transformations that were taking place across Europe during this period.
