The Aljama Charter
Across our towns, Muslim communities remain organized much as they were before the reconquest: under their own qāḍī, bound by their own customs, and collectively answering to the Crown rather than individually to any lord who might claim them. Our Burghers press for a formal charter that would recognize this self-governance as a permanent right rather than a tolerated custom, arguing plainly that a secure aljama pays its taxes more reliably than a resentful one ever will. Our Clergy see the same arrangement rather differently, as an anomaly the Crown ought to be correcting rather than enshrining in law. We now face the significant decision of whether Muslim autonomy in this realm rests on a charter or merely on the Crown's own patience.

historical_info = d009_mudejar.1.historical_info Mudéjar communities across Christian Iberia typically lived under charters, sometimes called cartas de población or aljama privileges, that guaranteed a measure of self-governance over their own courts, mosques, and internal affairs in exchange for taxes and loyalty to the crown. These charters varied enormously in generosity from kingdom to kingdom and shrank steadily over the 15th and 16th centuries as royal tolerance for Islam within Christian territory eroded.
