Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article aims to describe how the government of the city of Guadalajara evolved during the late Middle Ages through the analysis of the political disputes between the lesser nobility and the commoners, as well as studying the role played by the Crown and the powerful Mendoza family in such conflicts. This period of constant confrontations ended with the defeat of the commoners and with the establishment of the regiment in Guadalajara, controlled by the estate of the lesser nobility, who in turn ended up being part of the Mendoza network of patronage, which came to control the municipality as if it was one of their dominions.
