Event
The Inventory of the Behetrías
The growing power of the Nobility and the economic strain caused by recent plagues have sparked debates about the rights and privileges of Country Adjective's behetrías — towns where Commoners could choose their own lords. With mounting pressure from the aristocracy, the Crown has proposed creating a comprehensive inventory of these lands to document their status, rights, and obligations. This could serve as a vital tool in determining the future of these towns and clarifying the balance of power between the Crown and the aristocracy.

1479historical_info = flavor_cas.25.historical_info The Libro Becerro de las Merindades de Castilla, most widely known as Libro Becerro de las Behetrías, was commissioned by King Pedro I of Castile in the Cortes of Valladolid of 1351, and finished one year later, in response to noble demands for the conversion of behetrías into manorial lands. The behetría villages, primarily located in the northern regions of Castile, were unique in their legal status, as peasants retained the right to choose their lords. Following the Black Death and the subsequent economic turmoil, the nobles sought to strengthen their control over these lands, eroding traditional rights in favor of manorialism.
