Abstract
Este trabajo analiza la composición y administración de la hacienda municipal
en el reino aragonés durante los siglos XVI y XVII. Favorecidos por el
auge económico del Quinientos, los concejos alumbraron significativos proyectos
en su afán de transformar las relaciones entre el hombre y el paisaje,
potenciar las actividades económicas o manifestar su poder público. El progresivo
endeudamiento generado por esta gestión provocó la quiebra de las
haciendas municipales en el Seiscientos. Sus dificultades financieras, agudizadas
por las demandas fiscales de la monarquía en el segundo cuarto de
la centuria, impondrán a las autoridades municipales allegar más ingresos.
La bancarrota final de los municipios aragoneses conferirá el control de propios
y comunales a Juntas de censalistas, con una fuerte presencia del estamento
eclesiástico.
This paper studies the composition and administration of municipal finances in the Kingdom of Aragón during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Economic prosperity during the sixteenth century allowed town councils to carry out signifícant projects in order to transform the terms between man and landscape, to expand economic activities or to increase the public power. As a result of this administration, raising indebtedness during the seventeenth century caused the bankruptcy of town councils. Their fínancial difficulties were sharpened by the fiscal demands from the monarchy during the second quarter of this century and imposed to municipal authorities the increase of incomes. Final bankruptcy of town councils in Aragón will transfer the control of propios and communal lands to Juntas composed by creditors and an important representation of clergymen.
