Abstract

© 2020 Universitat de Valencia. All rights reserved. This study shows the close relationship between the sinful females (fembres pecadrius) and the practice of dance during the medieval autumn: On the one hand, in the slums and brothels, controlled by the figure of King of Harlots for some time, and on the other, in the Court, under the shelter of the ruling classes. In addition, it analyses impositions such as the tarquena or tarchana (also tarcon, in Castilian), which taxed the activities of the çabies or sabies (Muslim prostitutes) and the musical interventions of the minstrels at weddings and zambras of the Saracen collective.
