Author Biography

Pere BADIA ARROYO

Pere Badia Arroyo: I have a Master's degree in Medieval Cultures (MCM) from the University of Barcelona and I am currently completing my doctoral thesis within the framework of the Medieval Cultures Doctorate Program (DCM). My research falls within the line of research on Power and institutions: economy, society, relationships and ways of life and addresses commercial and industrial reality of Barcelona in the arms sector during the Late Middle Ages. In 2019 I participated in the International Symposium, Craftsmen and metalworking in medieval cities: 35 years, with a paper titled "Barcelonese Armour industry and maritime trade during the Late Middle Ages (1240-1478)". I have recently published an article in the magazine Gladius entitled: «En la mar ab los mantellets una milicia municipal de ballesteros en defensa de la frontera marítima de la Barcelona bajomedieval (c. 1356-1516)».
