Abstract
¿Resulta conveniente que un único gremio controle una de las
principales actividades económicas de un país? Esta es la pregunta que subyacía en el secular enfrentamiento entre la Universidad de mercaderes de Burgos y su rival, la Universidad de
capitanes, maestres de nao y mercaderes de Bilbao, por la exportación de lana hacia la Europa del Norte y el comercio con
ésta vinculado, entre 1450 y 1550. A ella debieron contestar los
protagonistas, comerciantes y navieros de ambas localidades
cuando apelaron en su ayuda a los gobernantes. También se la
plantearon las autoridades políticas, sobre todo los monarcas,
cuando legislaron al respecto. Fue hecha a los testigos presentados en los pleitos que sostuvieron ambas asociaciones, fuente empleada para el presente trabajo. Y, finalmente, es a la que
hoy día debe responder la historiografía.
Is it desirable that a single guild controls the main economic activity of a country? This is the question underlying the conflict on wool exports to Northern Europe between the guild of Burgos merchants and its rival, the guild of captains of boat and merchants of Bilbao between 1450 and 1550. To this question were forced to answer merchants and shippers of both sites when they appealed to the rulers. The question was also addressed to political authorities and monarchs, so that they legislated about it. Moreover, the question was made to witnesses in lawsuits held by both associations. Finally, the historiography must answer today to this question.
