There was no Justicia in either Catalonia or Valencia, but these two states possessed in the laterMiddle Ages, as did Aragon, another institution entrusted with certain similar functions, and known inCatalan as the Generalitat or Diputació. In this confederation of semi-autonomous provinces, monarchical authority wasrepresented by a figure who was to play a vital part in the life of the future Spanish Empire. Two areas received his special attention: the Catalan-French border, and Italy. It had been the practice for the Crown tomake contracts with leaders of military expeditions against the Moors. The story of Spain's rise to greatness from its humble beginnings as one of the poorest and most marginal of European countries is a remarkable and dramatic one. The history of Spain dates to the Antiquity when the pre-Roman peoples of the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula made contact with the Greeks and Phoenicians and the first writing systems known as Paleohispanic scripts were developed. Traditionally, the writing of Spanish historyhad been slanted towards political narrative, but Braudel turned his back on political and diplomatichistory, the history of mere ‘events’, in favour of the history of economic and social developments. It was atthis moment that Boabdil, never very happy in his timing, tore up his agreement with the CatholicKings, and proclaimed his determination to fight for the remnant of his kingdom, now reduced to littlemore than the city of Granada.

The man who had achieved so much –the Union of the Crowns, the annexation of Navarre, the ordering of Spain and its promotion to theranks of the great European powers – died embittered and resentful, cheated not by his opponents, allof whom he had outwitted, but by a malignant fate which had placed his masterwork in the hands ofalien descendants. Apart from the capture ofthe port of Melilla by the Duke of Medina-Sidonia in 1497, the new front with Islam was neglected,and it was only with the first revolt of the Alpujarras in 1499 that the Castilians really awoke to thedangers from North Africa.
