El crédito rural en Toledo. Conflictos en torno a la venta del 'pan fiado' a finales del siglo XV
Rural credit in Toledo. Conflicts over sales of 'pan fiado' at the end of the 15th century
Abstract
Between 1494 and 1495 there was a conflict in Toledo’s archbishopric related to sales of cereals on credit. Debtors, from the rural setting, accused their creditors before the Royal Council because of the excessive price of the sales. Since then there was an intense debate in which not only creditors participated, but also cathedral’s chapter of Toledo. Throughout this study it will be analyzed the different positions of the parties involved in the conflict, the monarchical regulation of the cereal’s prices and the tithe’s tax farming systems.
Entre los años 1494 y 1495 se desarrolló en el arzobispado toledano un conflicto relativo a contratos de venta a crédito de cereales. Los deudores, provenientes del ámbito rural, demandaron a sus acreedores ante el Consejo Real por los precios abusivos de la venta. A partir de ahí se inició un intenso debate en el que no sólo participaron los acreedores sino incluso el Cabildo Catedralicio beneficiario de una parte del diezmo. A lo largo de este trabajo se analizan las diferentes posturas planteadas en el conflicto, la intervención monárquica sobre la regulación de los precios de venta del cereal y los sistemas de arrendamiento de los diezmos.
