Abstract


This paper examines the Aragonese cathedral canons from the reports sent by the bishops to the royal confessor so that he could know what priests deserved to be promoted. This information can supply a view on the canons’ number, age, social and geographical origin, education, as well as their ways of access to the canonry, and their professional direction and conduct. In Aragon there appear to be some differences with regard to other Spanish chapters; for instance, there were fewer canons of noble or principal origin, and the access to prebends was not so controlled as it was in other places.
