Abstract

The present text, focusing on medieval mayors of castles in Portugal, proposes to investigate both what they were and some aspects of their organization and functioning. Starting from the analysis of documentation relating to Coimbra, in the first half of the 13th century, the framework of the organization of the military defense of the doors, walls and towers of the city of Mondego and the management of financial costs of its pretoria at the time of the conquest of Elvas is reconstructed. (1230).
