At the end of the Middle Ages and beginning of the Modern Era, merchants made up one of the most dynamic and powerful social groups in La Rioja’s cities and towns. Throughout this research, we intend to show some features on these members of La Rioja’s urban society. With this in mind, we will analyse the economic activities linked to trade and to other equally profitable businesses. As we will see, these activities allowed them to create the wealth that made them the richest people where they live in, while, at the same time, enabled them to live a way of life according to the elitist knightly ideal typical of the aristocratic segments of the society of that time.
