by Xavier Lake Master speaks of the collective freedom of Bierzo.
TRADITIONAL COUNCIL.
The scholar Fernando Bello Garner (2010) informs us, for the area of \u200b\u200bAs Médulas, which called for the neighbors are bell tolled. "When making decisions the night before playing three Pousada or bell (bell small bell + big + big c.), on the day the council will play six pousadas (twice the same scheme). When there is an urgent matter touching six pousadas and knock on xunta says. " Call
council through systems: bell, horn or antler with bovid or striking metal tube in the villages of El Bierzo west, according to Manuel Rodriguez and Rodriguez (1995). Bell followed three hits and extended mean an emergency such as fire. "When you enter a bunt and another is a kind of ten minutes or fifteen minutes means that residents have to go to the usual place within an hour. When the horn sounds at once and hold it meant that the meeting is to take place the following day at the usual time usually in almost all the villages in the evening. "
THE SALE OF ASSETS FORCED BY MUNICIPAL COUNCILS.
Bercianos The council on many occasions had to resort to selling their communal get money to meet their debts, if the tax. By Carlos Fernández Rodríguez (www.af2toral.wordpress.com) know that the council Villadecanes had to sell part of their communal lands, in 1813, to pay their taxes. "In the village of Villafranca del Vierzo ... to me the clerk ... seemed Antonio Guerreiro, village headman, etc. Local residents of Villadecanes (on behalf of the council) and said that being found as neighbors and council have said very late because of repeated calls and charges made against them for relief and support of the troops of the sixth national army stationed here for many months, they look and on the day unable to meet the actual taxes, other council gavel, and equipped twin gears up what is necessary to ask them now to establish a new military hospital in the town of Ponferrada, and unanimously agreed ... ... forever alienates eight seeding cuartales of land ... a thousand and six hundred reales .... "
INFRINGEMENT OF COMMUNITY FORCED BY THE LORDS.
we bring the example of the Marquis de Villafranca del Bierzo in the year 1566 was a lawsuit, before the Royal Council for abuse of power, resulted in the misappropriation of the commons. Alfonso Franco Silva historian tells us that the Marquis was accused of committing various and continuing injustices. So ordered closed several public roads of the town and they got into their fields. Did consume two public sources, bringing its water below ground to its strength and a garden. Also "elected as councilmen of the town to his servants for the time they wanted," he had taken the houses in the town hall and the room was given for mayor and his servants ", etc. Of course, popular history tends to overestimate the gentlemen of the town, despite its many excesses.
the Confiscation OF THE COMMUNITY.
The bourgeoisie of the nineteenth century took it to their advantage the effects of successive confiscations, by buying at public auction of so-called national assets. This was the case of purchases made by the politician Ponferradina, Pascual Fernández Baeza, who purchased the flour mill from the convent of San Agustin, garden of Aguilares and the curtain behind the convent in 1836 (Michael J. Garcia, 2008) .
Another local politician, Nemesio Fernandez, took over the communal oak Ponferrada, called La Borreca, by cutting and sale, as was reported by the same City Hall in these terms, "for having condemned the cutting of the oaks of the Borreca adjacent to the town and the most precious monument demonstration of their age, about what he has pending litigation" (1816) (JA Balboa de Paz, 2008). Another
Ponferradina bourgeois family, Los Valdés, get farm land Matapozuelos and Los Pedracales, which had belonged to the village themselves, and then sold and compensation for the road to Ourense and Asturias and A Coruña, "causing serious damage to the livestock owners of the villa "1869). Other neighbors have complaint against Antonio Campo Valdés, because "not only took common grounds for a change in the address part of the old dam which irrigates the farm known as San Blas, but after putting up a wall knocked out sinks and troughs, closed the dam by planting bushes and poplar trees on land that will not correspond with significant detriment of public road that borders "(1873). Another Daniel Valdes had problems with the session Ponferradina to buy the old building of Party Rentals in the Town Hall Square, sold off by Madoz, it was intended to be used for Post (1902). Daniel rented the building to the Postal Service berciano regiment, but after further disputes, abused his position of power, pretending to raise the rental price of the property (JM García González, 1997).
The confiscation of monastery Carracedo conflict caused by the historical rights of pasture in the devesa the monastery, between the villages of Carracedo, Naraiola, San Martín, Sorrentino and Cacabelos. Carracedo neighbors made at the public auction part of it, and this caused an outcry from neighbors Cacabelos, "protested against the auction, it does not reserve grazing rights that people have listed on the meadow Carracedo, whose servitude is accredited Grassland (...) "(1873) (JM García González, 1990). The Bierzo, April 2011.
