Abstract

At the dawn of the provincial era, the provincial institutions of Biscay were equipped with legal advisors to defend and interpret the Biscayan Fueros (special charter), while other territorial corporations did the same with their legal systems. With their interventions and actions, these lawyers, trained in the ius commune (common law) imparted in the Castilian universities in which they had been trained, contributed to defining and redefining the foral system. In this text we will study the figure of the consultants of the Lordship, explaining their origins and evolution, the profiles of the position and the main tasks they had.
