Fuero de Castrojeriz

In the year 974, García Fernández granted the Fuero de Castrojeriz to the town of Castrojeriz (today in the province of Burgos, autonomous community of Castilla y León). This charter is considered one of the first granted in the condado de Castilla.

To face danger on the borders, García Fernández expanded the social base of the condado ordinances by promulgating the ordinances on the caballeros villanos of Castrojeriz. These ordinances equated peasants who possessed a horse for war with the infanzones, who were considered second-class nobles.
