Abstract
En esta tesis doctoral, titulada Mujeres judías, devolución de la dote y transmisión de la herencia (Castilla, siglo XV), se analizan una serie de conflictos prematrimoniales, matrimoniales y por herencia concernientes a individuos y familias judías (y conversas) de Castilla. Dichas disputas, que comprenden el periodo entre 1475 y 1515, advierten acerca de la importancia del cumplimiento de los acuerdos prematrimoniales y de la necesidad de proceder a la distribución de la herencia de acuerdo con las leyes locales. También constatan el peso que tenía la dote en el conjunto del patrimonio familiar y la posición de la mujer judía como principal acreedora en el proceso de devolución de los bienes del marido. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación se centra en indagar en estas tres líneas principales: 1. Problemas relacionados con la fase pre-nupcial, las cláusulas matrimoniales y la relación entre los cónyuges; 2. Problemas relativos a la restitución y a la conservación de la dote; 3. Problemas acontecidos a raíz de la recepción de una herencia o a causa de su distribución. Para ello se combina el estudio de diferentes tipos de fuentes (real, eclesiástica, señorial, municipal, notarial y procesal),si bien el enfoque aplicado es socio-económico, tomando como principal sujeto de estudio a las mujeres judías...
In the present doctoral thesis, titled Jewish Women, the Devolution of the Dowry, and the Transmission of the Inheritance (Castile, Fifteenth century), a series of conflicts related to premarital and marital agreements, dowry and inheritance that concern individual Jews, Jewish families, and converts in Castile, are analyzed. These disputes, which take place during the period between 1475 and 1515, emphasize the importance of compliance with premarital agreements and of distributing inheritances in accordance with local laws. They also underline the importance of the dowry within the family assets and the position Jewish women had as the main creditors in the process of devolution of the assets of the husband after his decease. The objective of the research undertaken is to investigate the following three main areas: 1. Problems related to thepre-nuptial phase, the marriage clauses and the relationship between the spouses and their families; 2. Problems related to the devolution and preservation of the dowry; 3.Problems that arose because of the allocation and distribution of inheritances. To this end, a combination of different types of sources –royal, ecclesiastical, municipal, notarial and procedural–, are studied; the approach applied in the study is socioeconomic and it focuses mainly on Jewish women...
