Summary

The author first attempts to offer a complete list of the patronages in the late Middle Ages in the Seignory of Bizkaia starting from a thorough revision of previous contributions, and he then confirms that most of such patronages are of laic property, and more concretely, that they belong to lineages of Hidalgos (lower nobility). Finally, taking the main owners as an example, the author attempts to demonstrate that the monasteries controlled by each lineage make compact networks which are articulated in accordance with their social and economic strategies.
