El papel de los concilios visigodos en la defensa de los intereses nobiliarios frente al rey

Abstract

Since 633, a number of mechanisms to safeguard aimed at members of noble estate of continuous samples of royal arbitrariness coming suffering were adopted. In that year, the Fourth Council of Toledo, which was set aside, the prohibition of various monarchs take ownership of the goods, by way of thanks for services rendered, had been donated previously met by his predecessors on the throne. Similarly, it was ordered that henceforth, no monarch could know as sole judge and sentence those cases against the nobles and had rigged the death penalty and/or forfeiture of property. Measures found repeated in successive councils, demonstrating that were consistently unfulfilled, which makes sense if you take into consideration the permanent seizure that was immersed in the Visigothic kingdom.
