Abstract

The different borders that delimited the kingdoms of Castile, Navarre, and Aragon marked the fate of the north of the Iberian Peninsula during the late medieval period. Far from constituting solid barriers, borders were also porous realities on numerous occasions for the many groups of bandits that looted territories in neighboring kingdoms, or for cross-border lineages that took advantage of the possibility of acting in different kingdoms to promote their social and economic interests. The aim of this session is, therefore, to explore the issue of borders in North Iberia from different perspectives.
