TREJO MARTIN, Alberto. The recovery of the alcazar of Seville: An element of tension between the catholic kings and the city of Seville. Estud. hist. Esp. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.20-34. ISSN 2469-0961.

This article presents the multiple tensions and conflicts that existed between the Catholic Kings and the town council of Seville regarding the rights and prerogatives owed to the royal palace of Seville and its officials. The disputes, which occurred while the Alcazar was being restored to make it an important place for the Monarchy, involved many areas which were fundamental for the Sevillian society, for example, the administration and distribution of water in the city or how the taxes and contributions were shared by the inhabitants of the city. These conflicts show the difficulties that the recuperation of the palace entailed, the important role that the palace officials played as intermediaries and the complex relation established by the town with the royal site.

Palabras clave : Alcazar of Seville; Catholic Kings; Sevilla’s town council; Conflict of jurisdictions.
