Based on extensive archival research, this book traces the social, political, and economic development of the city Manresa in Catalonia during the later middle ages. It combines a narrative of long-term developments with one of the most precise snapshots of the people living in a late medieval city which has ever been produced. Reviving a classic, though recently neglected genre - the late medieval "urban decline" narrative centered on the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries - the book applies this analysis, using the latest urban-historical scholarship from across Europe on topics such as state formation, women’s work, and state formation, to an Iberian city.
