This paper analyses the late establishment of the so-called ex officio canonries in the council of the Sevillian Collegiate Church of the Divine Saviour. This is a considerably late example of the development of such prebends, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Era. Likewise, the chapter of the Divine Saviour is presented as an interesting example of a small chapter body, whose diminutive size stands out against the stature of its powerful neighbour the cathedral chapter of Seville, the latter of which affected its institutional development and the establishment of these trade prebends.

This paper examines perceptions, attitudes and preparations for death in Seville between the end of the 14th and middle of the 15th centuries. It does so by analysing the formulas used in testaments and endowments preserved in several archives of the city, paying special attention to two parts: the invocations, preambles and professions of faith at the start of testaments; and the funeral rites and various religious services in memory of the deceased, as well as other pious legacies.

This paper analyses the patrimonial range and territorial integration of nine Historical and Democratic Memorial Sites of Andalusia within Seville (whether declared, initiated or proposed). The lights and shades of this topic derive from a geographical perspective regarding the way these places and their spatial projection have been conceived. The methodology of this work, extrapolable to other territories and cities, can contribute to a field of geographical reflection as yet underdeveloped. It can serve as a framework for urgent social demands on how to manage those memories that still cause serious local, regional and national political disagreements in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
