- Summary
- "In what is sometimes called the age of absolutism, Castilian nobles and commoners, tribunals and towns, were to a considerable degree able to resist and shape royal commands. Whilst there was little open conflict, there was sometimes a surprising amount of autonomy, rights, and reciprocity on the part of the king's vassals. This is a study of one such form of resistance: the opposition to military levies."--BOOK JACKET.
