Privauté, gouvernement et souveraineté
Castille, xiiie-xive siècle
Long before the favourites of early modern times, the kings of medieval Europe relied on similar figures in their entourage. Those early experiences of proximity were not as thorough everywhere.

Privanza ¿Una definición?Long before the favourites of early modern times, the kings of medieval Europe relied on similar figures in their entourage. Those early experiences of proximity were not as thorough everywhere. Castile, where it was especially long-lasting, is a particularly favourable ground to investigate the identity of the medieval privanza and its historical meaning. The privanza is a choice, that of friendship against kinship. This choice was made on ideological grounds from the middle of the 13th century, and then became a strategy at the beginning of the 14th century: against his parents and barons, who wanted to exert a hold on his royalty, the king launched his creatures, the privados, to emancipate himself from them. While they worked towards an expulsion, they also organized an alternative and broader form of participation in the king's government, of his own person and his kingdom. Thus, the privanza reveals how the royal company was affected by a societal overthrow from the 13th century onwards. The multiple experimentations of privanza in the fourteenth century founded a political regime marked by the distinction between government and sovereignty. This essay takes a fresh look at this founding moment in the medieval experiment of state power.
