Las manufacturas de lana en Castelló de la Plana a finales del siglo XV
Wool manufactures in Castelló de la Plana at the end of the 15th century
Abstract
From the end of the 14th century to the middle of the 15th century, leather production shaped the socio-economic development of Castelló. In parallel, during this period the wool textile activity progressively strengthened. The decline of the leather sector since 1455 will favor an economic and job reconversion in the town, allowing the takeoff of textile manufacturing and the development of personal careers by some enterprising artisans (mainly “pelaires”) who will manage to diversify their businesses, get rich and take part of the oligarchy that rules the town.
Desde finales del siglo XIV y hasta mediados del XV, la producción de cueros configura el desarrollo socio-económico de Castelló. De forma paralela, durante ese período se afianza progresivamente la actividad textil lanera. El declive del sector del cuero desde 1455 favorecerá una reconversión económica y laboral en la villa, permitiendo el despegue de la manufactura textil y el desarrollo de trayectorias personales por parte de algunos artesanos emprendedores (pelaires fundamentalmente) que conseguirán diversificar sus negocios, enriquecerse y formar parte de la oligarquía que gobierna la villa.
