Abstract
Pese a que los estudios históricos sobre la marina y la navegación en la Edad Media en general y en Castilla en particular han dado un gran salto, no sólo cuantitativo, sino también cualitativo, los estudios relacionados con las condiciones de vida y las mentalidades del personal embarcado no parecen haber tenido el mismo interés. Aquí presentamos algunos aspectos, pinceladas extraídas de fuentes legales y cronísticas. Las fuentes legales nos ofrecen una vía de aproximación a las condiciones de vida en embarcaciones mercantes. Las crónicas ofrecen información sobre los peligros derivados de la acción directa de combate en la mar, la influencia de las condiciones meteorológicas, así como relacionada con el reclutamiento y suministros del personal embarcado.
Despite the fact that historical studies on the navy and navigation in the Middle Ages in general and in Castile in particular have taken a great leap, not only quantitatively but also qualitatively, studies related to the living conditions and mentalities of personnel shipped do not seem to have had the same interest. Here we present some aspects, brushstrokes drawn from legal and chronological sources. Legal sources offer us a way to approach living conditions on merchant ships. The chronicles offer information on the dangers derived from direct combat action at sea, the influence of meteorological conditions, as well as related to the recruitment and supplies of the embarked personnel.
