NOTES
The star (*) indicates the provinces treated of in this volume; the
remainder will be treated of in Volume II.
Two provinces have not been mentioned: that of the Balearic Isles
(belonged to the old kingdom of Aragon), and that of the Canary
Isles (belonged to the old kingdom of Castile).
Dates have not been indicated. For so complicated was the evolution
of the different states (regions) throughout the Middle Ages, that
a series of tables would be necessary, as well as a series of
geographical maps.
The above list, however, shows Spain (minus Portugal) at the death
of Fernando (the husband of Isabel) in 1516, as well as the
component parts of Castile and Aragon. The division of Spain into
provinces dates from 1833.
A bishopric does not necessarily coincide with a province. Thus,
the Province of Lugo has two sees (Lugo and Mondoñedo); on the
other hand, three Basque Provinces have but one see (Vitoria).
Excepting in the case of Navarra, whose capital is Pamplona, the
different provinces of Spain bear the name of the capital. Thus the
capital of the Province of Madrid is Madrid, and Jaen is the
capital of the province of the same name.
