Abstract

taking into account different approaches to the origins of rural cloth industry and to the role played by producers in its organization, we will analyze the evidence of rural clothmaking in the jurisdiction of piedrahíta and other councils during the fifteenth century. We will focus on the presence of craftsmen in the villages, on the conditions that the area shows in terms of labour, raw materials, infrastructure, and on the circulation of textiles produced in the countryside. the aim of this work is to assess the development of rural industries and its relation with villages élites.
