Abstract
A comienzos del siglo XIV, la intervención de la monarquía en el desarrollo de la
universitas valenciana tuvo como consecuencia la aprobación de una serie de medidas que
fortalecieron los vínculos entre ambas esferas de poder. Dentro de estos vínculos destacamos
la derivación de los tributos pagados por las ciudades y villas del reino para destinarlos a la
edificación y mejora de murallas, lo que intensificó el proceso de construcción de la identidad
urbana como colectivo, pero incorporando a su vez elementos de «privatización» de dichos
sistemas defensivos. Estos factores se pueden estudiar en el reino de Valencia a través del
gran número de privilegios y de medidas de gracia establecidas por Jaime II de Aragón
a inicios de dicha centuria, documentados a través del registro Gratiarum del Archivo de
la Corona de Aragón, cuyo análisis comparativo es la base del presente artículo. De este
modo, la construcción o el mantenimiento de las murallas ampliaría el significado de estos
elementos de protección en las urbes del reino, incorporando a su capacidad defensiva y de
delimitación jurídica, la posibilidad de establecer vínculos entre diversas esferas de poder y
la contradicción entre identidad colectiva y necesidades particulares.
At the beginning of the 14th century, the intervention of the monarchy in the development of the valencian universitas took as a consequence the approval of a series of measures that strengthened the links between both spheres of power. Inside these links we emphasize the derivation of taxes paid for the cities and villages of the kingdom to destine them to the building and improvement of walls, which intensified the process of construction of the urban identity as group, but incorporating in turn elements of “privatization” of the above mentioned defensive systems. These factors can be studied in the kingdom of Valencia across the great number of privileges and of measures of grace established by Jaime II of Aragon to beginnings of the above mentioned century, documented across the record Gratiarum of the Archivo de la Corona de Aragon, which comparative analysis is the base of the present article. Thus, the construction or the maintenance of the walls would extend the meaning of these elements of protection in the cities of the kingdom, incorporating to his defensive capacity and of juridical delimiting, the possibility to establish links between diverse spheres of power and the contradiction between collective identity and particular needs.
