Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze one of the most serious threats the Castilian urban world had to face in the fifteenth century, the wrongful seizure of villages, districts and vassals belonging to its jurisdiction. Using the city of Cuenca as a case-study, I will show the diverse forms these usurpations adopted, their protagonists and the answers given by cities and towns to this phenomenon; and I will conclude that they were not a passive field of submission to these illegal seizures but they, as long as they could, acted firmly and with perseverance in the defence of their jurisdiction.
