| Summary: | Catalan serfs, that is to say, the remences, could have a price: the price of their own freedom.

The aim of this work is to study the price of remences’ freedom during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. First of all, we analyse the theory explained by the Customs of Gerona and, secondly, we study all the redemptions granted by a feudal lordship of Gerona. |
