Abstract
En este artículo, nuestro propósito consiste en analizar el papel que los patrones de nave vascos desempeñaron du-rante la década de 1462 a 1472, la de la guerra civil catalana. Igualmente, debido a que no se conservan registros del puerto para esta década, hemos comprobado cómo la combinación de ambas fuentes (seguros y ancoratge) para los años 1440-1443 nos permite recomponer sus itinerarios. En este contexto, el comercio barcelonés fue testigo y bene-ficiario de la presencia de patrones extranjeros como los vascos, lo que nos permite preguntarnos sobre su actividad y sus rutas. Para responder a estas cuestiones, contamos con los seguros marítimos de los notarios barceloneses, que mencionan los puertos más frecuentados por estas naves —principalmente del Mediterráneo occidental— y los pro-ductos que distribuían, como la lana, el trigo o la sal.
In this paper, our goal is to analyze the role that the Basque skippers played in one of the most critical decades that medieval Barcelona experienced: the years of the Civil War (1462-1472). In addition, due to the fact that the port records aren ́t preserved for this decade, we have explored the advantages of combining both sources (insurances and ancoratge) conserved in the 1440-1443 period, in order to analyze their movements throughout several months. In this context, Barcelona’s trade witnesses the presence of foreign skippers like the Basques, which allows us to pose several questions about their role and routes. To answer these questions, we count on sources such as the maritime insurances of Barcelona’s notaries: they report us on the recurring ports of these ships —mainly those of the western part of the Mediterranean— and which products they distributed, like wool, salt or wheat.
