AB Our proposal revolves around the themes of political discourse and culture in the coastal towns of Cantabria from the late fourteenth to the early sixteenth centuries. Drawing on both municipal and legal documentation, we will examine the means of access to municipal office in the period before the carve-up of power among factions, the political culture of the factions themselves and the alternatives to such culture. Indeed the factions' political discourse centred on their role as protectors of the community, their control of certain posts since time immemorial and their belonging to ancient lineages, which in turn guaranteed the prestige, honour and renown regarded as fundamental to such positions of power. The opposition to such power-sharing came chiefly from the influential brotherhoods of fishermen and from the artisans' guilds in the several Cantabrian towns, but it generally failed to obtain significant municipal posts. The faction system only came to an end when, from 1476 onwards, the political model proposed in 1435 by the merchants of Bilbao came to be widely adopted.
