Water uses in fifteenth-century Castilian cities
Keywords:
Castile, fifteenth-century, cities, society, waterAbstract
This article focuses on the 15th century Castilian crown and such elements as reveal the use and treatment of water in its relation to Mudejar expertise and lore, at a time in which new social attitudes encouraged the urban population to search for different ways to show honor, as well as for fresh commodities and luxuries. Such social conditions will affect the relationship of the late medieval Castilian society and water. In order to better understand the importance granted to this knowledge, three main issues will be taken into consideration: urban water supply, the uses of water in the diverse labors and its relationship with honor.
