Abstract

During the Ancien Régime, the Spanish Monarchy had a composite juridicalpoliticalcomposition. One of the communities within it was Biscay and its natives,who had a local code of laws: the Fuero Nuevo. Among their fundamental privileges,there was a space in a superior court of Castile, the Chancery of Valladolid, wherethere was the Grand Judge of Biscay, the jurisdictional key and symbol of thatprivileged community. This paper will be focus on the chamber where that specialjudge resided and its contents until it was closed, along with the Chancery, in the19th century. That courtroom was the architectural evidence of Biscay’s and itsnative’s particular law and jurisdiction during the Ancien Régime. Thus, a study ofthis space in the building and what it cointained will explain the symbolic scope ofit.
