The assimilation of the conquered lands by the new political power, preserving the border position, leads to the emergence of a special legal tradition, typical for other similar territories, which received the general name “extremadura” — “borderland”.

The source also informs us about the legal statuses that the inhabitants of Madrid could use, as well as the most significant issues of economic activity for the urban community, including the regulation of the use of communal lands.
