The implementation of the language of Castile in the province of El Bierzo call took place in a progressive manner since the late Middle Ages. The settlement of the state bureaucracy of the Crown of Castile no doubt had its linguistic consequences. We will see below, by several deliveries, some aspects of this particular institutional and cultural problems in our region.
CENSUS

FISCAL CASTELLANOS.
tax censuses of the Kingdom of Castile provide us with a variety of information on place names in the province of El Bierzo. The census included the cities, towns and villages of the Crown, and the number of neighbors commoners as these were the actual taxes paid. To prepare the census, the English bureaucracy used his various fiscal agents, ie, accountants, treasurers, pickers, magistrates, landlords and others. They interpreted their own personal way, according to his writings preserved the place names of the places visited. If it was problematic to call towns of Castile, was his worst intervention in the interpretation of place names in other language regions territorial own case of El Bierzo.


Royal officials, responsible for the inspection and tax collection, came from outside of El Bierzo, led by the Crown from Castile. Of course they did not understand at all the Galician language, the consequence of this was confusing or misleading the interpretation of local place names. The prosecutors had to interpret the oral Galician Berciano and written translation into Castilian.


This dynamic commented collecting audit causes confusion in many cases. "In His Majesty's catching corrupt walk the names of places, and he says no one's name in many places, and others who went out of receivership. Hazer Devese henceforth the receiverships under the Paresce "(year 1528). The receiver of taxes for El Bierzo, Castilian Francisco de Santiago, is clear on the confusion of place names that exist in the census.


CONCEJIL ORDINANCES. Municipal councils
ordinances were drawn up by the residents of the towns and villages. These legal rules predate the creation of municipalities and cities of the nineteenth century. Its content is part of customary law called Bierzo. The ordinances are municipal councils to retain the centuries Modern Age (XVI to XVIII). These general rules governing the political, social, agricultural, livestock, economic and religious life of the inhabitants of the affected populations.


As we say the ordinances were prepared and tentatively approved by the neighborhood assembly. But later they were finally approved by the higher powers. In areas of crown land in El Bierzo, Ponferrada the mayor intervened, Orbanayo The place has its ordinances to the mayor of Ponferrada in 1672, "Made for the good homes, jurors said board appointed for the collection of old computers that the council ruled that (...) and be approved fair and proper for the service of God and of His Majesty and conservation of its neighbors. " Moreover, the council asks permission Castropodame referred to the magistrate to make new ordinances municipal councils in 1672.


in secular and ecclesiastical lordships, were the magistrates and mayors in charge of authorizing the making and passing ordinances definitely. Of course, these officers, real or manor, had discretion to amend the ordinances for the sake of administrative hierarchy.


Moreover, local place names (names of communal lands, geographical lindeiros ...) could be translated by the clerks on duty in case of non sonarles good (if Valcarcel, Barjas, Cornatel ...). The lack of Galician provoked not follow the original etymology and spelling errors (Balboa, Sotelo, Sotoparada ...). Over time it reaches the part of place names castellanización El Bierzo (Cantejeira, Médulas, Toral de los Vados, La Barosa ...) or total (La Cabrera, Parkland, Villavieja, Villabuena ...).
