On Tuesday 18 May Dr Victòria A. Burguera i Puigserver (Institució Milà i Fontanals-CSIC, Barcelona & Universitat de les Illes Balears) spoke on:
The Intervention of the Crown of Aragon institutions on Maritime Conflict Management
The aim of this talk is to delve into the institutional structure of the Crown of Aragon in terms of intervention in maritime conflicts. At a specific level, I will focus on the role of the King, that of the major maritime cities (Barcelona and the cities of Valencia and Majorca), that of the Diputació del General and the one of the corporation of merchants. I will link their intervention not so much to the resolution of those conflicts as to the capacity to respond against them, according to the power acquired by each institution through the last centuries of the Middle Ages, in parallel to the Crown’s territorial expansion in the Mediterranean. Their scope of action in offensive-defensive matters regarded mostly fleet ownership and campaign financing.
