The Environmental Legacy of War on the Hungarian-Ottoman Frontier, c. 1540–1690
Multifunctional Landscapes in Central Mainland Portugal
This article addresses two hundred years of administration and land use around Almeirim, a city located on the left bank of the River Tagus near Santarém. Through legislation and other administrative documents, it reconstructs the historical progression of different kinds of land use and generates maps showing the approximate limits of the spatial scope of regulation. Three main conclusions may be drawn: first, the dynamics of the royal forests o…
Revisiting the Narrative of Deforestation in Central and Southern Mainland Early Modern Portugal as a ‘Ruined Landscape’
Scholars have largely blamed shipbuilding for maritime expansion for being the main driver of deforestation in early modern Portugal. This article sets out to revisit the origins and reproduction of this narrative by analysing three interconnected elements in a case study of Lisbon's shipyards. Firstly, it studies the claims of forestry policies from the 1400s to the mid‐1600s. Secondly, it addresses Portuguese writers and foresters of the ninete…
Forest policies, administration, and management of the Leiria pinewood in Portugal (13th-18th centuries)

This article aims to shed light on the forest policies, administration, and governance of the pinewood from its blurry origins in the late 1200s to the late 1700s. By the early 15th century the state (Monarchy) had established a permanent bureaucracy for its management, with the main purpose of ensuring the availability of timber for shipbuilding. Throughout the Early Modern Age, th…

No es madera para vasallos, sino del rey

In 1603, Philip III ordered the establishment of a Committee for the Building of Ships ( Junta para la Fábrica de Navíos), which signed several contracts ( asientos) with private individuals to build squadrons and ships. What were the shipbuilding conditions o…

The Royal Households in the Habsburg Netherlands after the Departure of the Household of Burgundy
In September 1517, Archduke Charles left the Habsburg Netherlands to make his way to Castile accompanied by his complete entourage, including the Household of Burgundy. After that date, other than during the occasional visit by Charles V or Philip II, the Burgundian service was not to return to Flemish lands, which prompted the search for a new model to hold the various elites in the Habsburg Netherlands together when the monarch was not present.…
