- Abstract
Andalusian aristocratic families controlled most of the ports in the region during the late fifteenth century. Their interest in maritime business generated valuable documentation that is kept in their archives. These documentary resources have enabled us to assess, among other things, the phenomenon of maritime frontiers with respect to North African territories. In this article we have taken as a case study the archive of the Ducal House of Medina Sidonia, whose files have revealed to us the strategies deployed by the Guzmán family to control the region of Melilla after its conquest in 1497.
