Las cartas de amor como prueba procesal a la luz de un proceso eclesiástico pamplonés de principios del siglo XVII

Abstract

This article analyses a court case about a future betrothal taken place in Pamplona´s Canonical Court in 1603 where love letters were accepted as evidence in the legal actions. These resources as well as the testimonies in the Court are a good way to know how love, betrothal and marriage were understood at the beginning of the XVII century.
