A clash of cultures: the legal difficulties of Bernat Metge(1396-1398) in a wider social context.
Abstract
No case in the legal annals of the later Middle Ages better exemplifies how
a kingdom should and should not be run than does the trial of the Aragonese king
Joan I (1387-1396). It was brought into the dock for every shade of political
malfeasance known to man. It even involved one of Catalonia’s leading literary
figures, Bernat Metge.
