Abstract

Resumen: El incremento del gasto en el concejo sevillano a lo largo del siglo XV y, en ocasiones, la necesidad de disponer de dinero rápidamente, hizo que los ingresos ordinarios y la forma de gestionarlos fuesen totalmente insuficientes para responder a esos retos. Esto obligó a recurrir a impuestos extraordinarios, a operaciones de crédito y otras medidas financieras. En este trabajo se analiza cómo afectó dicha situación al cargo de mayordomo del concejo durante la segunda mitad de la mencionada centuria: por una parte, fue objeto de maniobras totalmente ilegales, como su arriendo, la entrega del oficio a cambio de dinero, etc. y, por otra, obligó al concejo a frecuentes decisiones contradictorias y al incumplimiento de los contratos.

Abstract: The ordinary incomes and how to manage them in Seville council along the XV century were unable to bear the increased spending and deal with the occasional need for quick cash. These circumstances forced to resort to extraordinary taxes, credit operations and other financial measures. This paper analyses how affected the situation described before to the “mayordomo” council office during the second half of that century: on the one hand, it was the subject of completely illegal manoeuvres, such as its lease, office delivery for money, etc. and, on the other, the situation forced the council to adopt contradictory resolutions frequently and to breach contracts.
