The Siete Partidas are a law code published by authority of Don Alfonso X the Wise, king of Castile and León. Based on Roman law, the work contained discourses on manners and morals and an idea of the king and his people as a corporation superior to feudal arrangements with the king as agent of both God and the people. After Alfonso s death, it was proclaimed the law of all Castile and Leon in 1348, and the language of Alfonso s court evolved into modern Castilian Spanish. Palau 7094.
