摘要
The main organ of government of the Comunero rebels, the Santa Junta , came to life as an extraordinary assembly of the towns that had the right to send deputies to the Cortes (Parliament), that was summoned by someof these towns, without the consent of the king. This institution has been described as revolutionary. But in this paper the author tries to prove that in many respects it followed the model of the Castilian Cortes of the fifteenth century and of the first decades of the sixteenth century. He pays attention to the study of the social prolife of the deputies sent by the towns to the Santa Junta , and he proves that most of them belonged to the same sociopolitical group that the deputies to the Cortes. At the same time he shows that an important number of towns that sent deputies to this assembly didn%26apos;t advocate constitutional changes of any kind, and since the beginning they made efforts to prevent actions that implied disobedience to the king, and finally ended up by ordering their deputies to leave the assembly. La principal instituci車n de gobierno de los comuneros, la Santa Junta, tuvo su origen en una asamblea extraordinaria de ciudades con voto a Cortes, convocada a iniciativa de algunas de dichas ciudades, sin la preceptiva autorizaci車n regia. Esta instituci車n ha sido caracterizada como un organismo revolucionario. Pero el autor trata de demostrar en este trabajo que en muchos aspectos permaneci車 fiel al modelo de las Cortes castellanas del siglo XV y primeras d谷cadas del XVI. Para ello presta atenci車n al an芍lisis del perfil de los procuradores, demostrando que la mayor parte de ellos proced赤an del mismo grupo sociopol赤tico que los procuradores a Cortes. Y al mismo tiempo da cuenta de c車mo un importante n迆mero de las ciudades que enviaron diputados a esta asamblea no eran partidarias de cambios constitucionales de ning迆n tipo, y desde el primer momento se esforzaron por impedir las actuaciones que conllevasen desacato a la autoridad del rey, terminando en varios casos por ordenar la retirada de sus procuradores
