Abstract

Taking into account all the constraints and nuances that the use of the concept of humour involves in the consideration of a remote age, some of the main expressions of political humour in 15th-century Castile are analysed. In order to do that, four types of especially relevant manifestations or expressions have been highlighted: I. The satire of political figures; II. The satire of politically influential groups; III. Situational humour in current confrontations; IV. Scenographic humour. From these expressions, and from the special assessment of epistolary and historiographic sources, we conclude regarding humour as a political instrument with an anecdotal value in 15th-century Castile.
