Resumen
Hardly the conquest of the Realm of Granada had
begun, when the Catholic Kings arranged the acquisition
of some bulls in Rome, in order to authorize the collection
and free disposai of the taxes that the Moslems used to
pay to the Nasri Kings of Granada. According to this the
Kings had already decided to keep a great number of Moslems
in the poorest areas of that realm in order to pay.
The confiscation, inspection and exploitation of the Mudejars
were a premeditated an essential task after the conquest
of the Realm of Granada and, which gave rise to the
following points : a) facilitate the rapid implantation and
starting of the society of Castille and its state system in
the just conquered territory. b) to constitute another
factor in the process of primitive accumulation of capital,
because after the conquest a lot of wealth was reverted in
Castille and a great number of Mudejares, whitout anything
except bodily strength of their arms went to live there. c) to
allow the settlers from Castille to enjoy a period whitout
paying any taxes.
This article deals almost exclusively about this latter
point and the repopulation of Málaga, which begins with a
fiscal exemption for an indefinited period. Howewer, the
frequent dangers and necessities, (Mudejar revolts, African
piracy, brigandage, insufficiency of food and plague), united
to the voluble burocracy, did flot permit the repopulation to
be quite as rapid as desired the Kings. They had to fix the
franchises for a period of ten years (from 1487 to 1497) in
order ko animate their subjects. The persistence of some of
the aforesaid facts and the earthquake of 1494, which
partially destroyed the town obliged the Kings to postpone
the franchsies three times.
Bu this generous fiscal exemption, which Málaga enjoyed
and had to enjoy till 1505, was cut off in 1501, when
the Kings revoked ail the previous franchises in order to give
new ones, which meant the first contribution of the
repopulation of Málaga given the disproportion between the
exempts and the taxed. This sudden change is accompanied
by many others carried out the Realm of Granada, where the religious and fiscal unification was introduced by the
conquerors, the same as the conquered. It was fifteen years
since the reconquest and settlement of Málaga had begun,
and, the same Mudejars and repopulators were obliged to
advance in unison with Castille. The state had rapidly gone
through the Realm of Granada and with no less rapidity and
calculation had done and undo ne. And the end, everything
was covered with a veil of unity at the service of the
centralization and fortification of power.
