El rey en las partidas de alfonso X: Su vicariato divino y su caracterización bajo esquemas de sacralidad

Abstract

This paper can be considered as a cultural history analysis. Its goal is to interpret the divine vicariate of the king proclaimed in the Partidas in its legal and symbolic framework, as well to study the sacred characters attributed to the king in this code. To do this, we will use contributons from sociologists and anthropologists, which shed light on an issue that divides the historiography.
