The paper proposes several considerations regarding the effects produced by Spanish rule in the historical province of “Terra di Bari”. The first part reconstructs the new feudal map of the territory, born from the dissolution of the great domains of the fifteenth century and destined to remain stable for a long duration. Furthermore, the provincial baronage and its evolving composition up until the mid-seventeenth century is analyzed. The second part once more proposes the controversial problem of demilitarization wanted by the Catholic monarchy in order to control southern barons. On the basis of a few particular cases, the integration of individuals and families of “Terra di Bari” in the Spanish imperial system is studied through the military service.

Abstract
The paper proposes several considerations regarding the effects produced by Spanish rule in the historical province of “Terra di Bari”. The first part reconstructs the new feudal map of the territory, born from the dissolution of the great domains of the fifteenth century and destined to remain stable for a long duration. Furthermore, the provincial baronage and its evolving composition up until the mid-seventeenth century is analyzed. The second part once more proposes the controversial problem of demilitarization wanted by the Catholic monarchy in order to control southern barons. On the basis of a few particular cases, the integration of individuals and families of “Terra di Bari” in the Spanish imperial system is studied through the military service.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
