| Abstract | After long years of civil war, from 1480 onwards a successful programme of political centralization was already underway in Castile. Its main lines had been essayed, opposed, transacted and finally imposed by a triumphant monarchy profiting from the cooperation offered by towns and a large section of the nobility to help end the war. This cooperation was not given unconditionally but it nevertheless led to the establishment of more fluid channels of communication and the emergence/consolidation of centralized governmental institutions all political players accepted. |
