A Case Before the Aljama Courts
Years after we set our course on how closely the crown should watch over the aljama courts, a case has finally reached us that will show whether that policy holds in practice. A Christian wool merchant and a Muslim tanner dispute a contract gone sour, and the aljama's own judge has already ruled between them, invoking law that predates our grandfathers. The merchant now appeals to us directly, asking that royal justice overturn a verdict he never agreed to submit to in the first place.

historical_info = d009_convivencia.6.historical_info Aljamas, the self-governing Muslim and Jewish communities of Christian Iberia, typically held judicial autonomy, including their own courts applying Muslim or Jewish law to internal disputes, under charters granted by the crown. This case is invented, but the underlying tension it dramatizes was constant: royal justice and aljama justice overlapped uneasily, and how far a crown was willing to let communal courts have the final word varied enormously by kingdom and by century.
