Abstract

The delimitation of town boundaries was a long and conflictive process that, in some cases, we can associate directly to population changes during the High and Late Middle Ages. Thus, both the urban renaissance and demographic crisis triggered the movement of borders arbitrarily, violently or by agreement. In the case of Olite, the defense of natural resources was a matter of survival, to which they didn’t spare efforts. After the grant of the Charta Burgis, the surveillance of the borders was a priority for the council, especially in those places where animal husbandry and irrigated agriculture was better.
