Seizure in the legal literature of the medieval hispanic kingdoms

Abstract

This paper addresses the question of insolvency of the debtor and the seizure of property by the creditor during the middle ages. The work also studies of the applicable doctrine. It should be noted that although in the majority of the legislative texts of the middle ages the concepts of insolvency and seizure were not systematic constructions, such ideas had a great effect in the framework of practice and in the doctrinal field, where complex regulation surrounding their nature, typology, regulation and procedure were present.
