Résumé
Festivals, colors, and symbols of power in fifteenth century Castile : the celebrations of may 1428. In late medieval Castile kings, members of the high nobility and the powerful advanced their claims to power and authority through elaborate festivals, ceremonial entries and ludic rituals. These lavish representations served to articulate relations of power between the ruling elites of the realm, but they also defined the distance between those and those below. By the appropriation of courtly, sacred, and popular symbols, by the conscious use of certain colors- red, white and black- those above established their hegemonic claims over their political adversaries and over those below. This was most evident in May 1428, when at cycle of festivities in Valladolid, the king of Castile, through symbolic representations, settled his political differences with the Infantes of Aragon.
