Patterns of Patronage in Spain

Abstract

It is my intention here to define the terms patron and client as they shall be used in this article; to review the bases for the patronage system as it is found in Spain; to trace certain of its patterns; to sketch some of its outward expressions; and finally to describe some of the rules that regulate structural relationships at all status levels whereon patronage operates. My remarks are confined to Spain and, in particular, to the two provinces of Castile the Old and the New.
