Concordances between the Fuero de Estella (1164) and the Fueros de Aragón (1247)

Abstract

The Fueros de Aragón from 1247, are the first extensive piece of legislation applied to the entire Kingdom of Aragon. This collection has near 350 articles and they were written from different historical documentary sources. However, some of these sources are currently unknown, meaning that up to 90 of the articles remain unidentified. This research has demonstrated that 26 of these articles have been written or inspired from texts fragments found in the Fuero of Estella from 1164, therefore, the number of fueros with an unknown origin is reduced significantly.
