Review

"...a new and compelling look at Habsburg Spain's century of gold and war." Luis R. Corteguera, American Historical Review

"This book is both a tightly focused study of military recruitment in seventeenth - century Castile and an original, convincing analysis of the nature of Habsburg adsolutism that takes into account recent theorizing about the origins and consolidation of the early modern state." Carolyn P. Boyd, The Journal Of Interdisciplinary History

Book Description

In what is sometimes called the age of absolutism, Castilian nobles and commoners, tribunes and towns, were to a considerable degree able to resist and shape royal commands. This is a study of one such form of resistance: the opposition to military levies in the 1630s and 1640s. The assurance with which such a range of people addressed the crown reveals a society in which a great number of people had a great deal to say about the definition and use of political power.
