La crisis del municipio Logroñés : los primeros procesos desamortizadores (1801-1814)

Abstract

The study of 'Desamortización' prolegomena -end of the XVI/Ith century and beginning ofthe XIXth- constitutes an important aidfor the explanation ofthat complex process. As the author points out in this résumé of his Doctoral Thesis, « The first attempts made by the establishment (were useful in arder to) adapt the old tardofeudal structures to the new socioeconomic situation caused by a century of uninterrupted accumulation». The case of Logroño is one of the few which have beentreated up to now, but it has an exceptional importance because of the amount of expropiations which took place during those .first steps of the process. The comparison between those figures and the sales during the liberal period is significant when drawing conclusions.
