The struggles between the university students in the Spanish Modern Age

Abstract

[ES] Al estudiar a estudiantes universitarios de los siglos XV al XVIII, la palabra “violencia” debe acentuarse. Como cualquier otro grupo social del tiempo, los estudiantes universitarios utilizaron frecuentemente la violencia física, reforzada por su juventud y su conocimiento de los procedimientos judiciales con que apelaban a los jueces. En este sentido, es un caso muy particular de la violencia en la época.

[EN]When studying university students from the 15th to the 18th century, the word "violence" has to be emphasised. Like any other social group of the time, university students used a great deal of physical violence, which was reinforced by their youth and their knowledge of judicial proceedings which they used to appeal to judges. In this sense, it is a very particular case of violence in this period.
