Landscape and society in the county of Besalú (Catalonia) in the Middle Ages
The county of Besalú (Catalonia, Spain) in A.D. 785 started to became dependent on the Frankish kings. The territory was divided into ‘valleys’ and other districts. The main type of settlement during the ninth and tenth centuries was half-dispersed village (villares). After the year 1000, the search for protection against feudal violence brought the creation of many sacrariae, the sacred space surrounding the church, where houses were built. In spite of the creation of these villages, the importance of dispersed settlement was essential: after this year 1000, a closely-knit network of scattered farmhouses (masos, bordes, masoveries) started to expand.
