Completed in Valencia in 1344, the Royal Court Regulations of Aragon details the Ordinations and Ceremonials of the court of Peter IV of Aragon. The king requested that this codex be modelled after the Palatine Laws of James III of Majorca. He ordered three separate copies to be made, which were sent to Zaragoza, Barcelona, and Valencia to reinforce the authority of the crown. The manuscript begins with a chapter titled "Ordination of the Royal Household," which outlines the roles of the four main professions within the royal court: the steward, chamberlain, chancellor, and chief financial officer.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
