Abstract

This paper considers a series of proceedings referred to as prestimonia in Spanish medieval texts. Prestimonia is a specific modality of property assignment, mainly land, where one lord lends it to another lord for life and its usufruct is accepted as payment. While being a traditional subject for medieval historiography, I put forward a new approach that places prestimonia in the wider-ranging field of "borrowing" and thus seek to perceive alliances, ruptures, and processes to strengthen the nobility. I differentiate between noble prestimonia, ecclesiastic prestimonia and royal prestimonia in order to understand the relationships between lords, the internal networks in a manor and the ties underpinning the medieval powers pyramid; where prestimonia is a fundamental tool to understand feudal power.
