| Abstract | Portuguese Medieval Cities were subjected to different kinds of jurisdictional pressures either coming from upper external entities or from inner institutions. The local religious structures were perhaps those that in daily life affected more intensively citizens' lives; but, in fact even administrative structures, born inside the local community, had little space to act due to the supervision of the seigniorial and/or the royal officials. |
