Continguts |
Given the introductory character of the subject, the course offers basic knowledge of medieval times in the Valencian region. Special importance is given to understanding the conquest and colonization of the XIII century, since they mark two totally different historical periods. Before this period, from the VIII century, Islamic civilization flourishes, Arabic is the language used and some original political institutions appear, at first dependent on Cordoba and later autonomous. When Jaime I conquers back the Kingdom of Valencia, it is incorporated into the Crown of Aragon, and, with its own political organization consecrated in the Jurisdictions of Valencia, the foundations are made for the commencement of a period of splendor in the XV century, helped also by Valenciaˆs flourishing, dynamic agriculture and mercantile development. |
