Abstract

This article analyzes the role of marriage arrangements in their relation with the territorial
policy of the kingdom of Castile from the end of the 12th century til the middle of the 13th
century. The analysis of documents from royal chancilleries dealing with dowries gives evidence
of marriage alliances as a means of royal intervention in the border areas of the kingdom.
