- Title
CONFIGURACIÓN Y ASIENTO DE UNA DEMARCACIÓN FRONTERIZA: EL SECTOR ORIENTAL DEL REINO DE GRANADA (1244-1304).

- Abstract
The occupation of the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula by the Kingdom of Castile in the 13th century created a border with the Muslim kingdom of Granada. The organisation of the new demarcation required a defence system to secure the newly incorporated lands, and so procedures were devised to support the main enclaves as nodes in a network that outlined a scheme of smaller fortified points that completed this defence-in-depth strategy. The Aragonese intervention in Murcia in 1296 did not change the border uses, but the signing of Torrellas generated two Christian territories with different sovereignty, although with similar military defence interests, which consolidated a defence system on the eastern border with Granada until the disappearance of the Nasrid sultanate at the end of the 15th century.
