Life in Spain in the Golden Age

The Spanish Society during their grand AgeThe golden age of Spain does not just refer to tremendous sparing growth or an excellent period of monarchial rule in peace and prosperity rather it refers to the rule of Charles II, which was characterized by the weakening of the Castile, and the deterioratingSpanish cr sustain. According to Sedney Donell (2003), during this time, the Castilian privileged classes in various provinces of the Monarchy took good of the weakened Monarchy and began to take the affairs of the imperial state in their own hands, which later came to be known as the golden age of Spain (Donell 2003, p. 151). Spanish society during this time was in confusion and this was aggravated by the collision of feminization that was creating confusion on the utilisation of men in the society.How characterless Life was for themLife in Spain during the golden age was not indifferent as mint experienced acute economin difficulty due to direful economic decline because of wars. Marcelin Defourneaux (1979) cited demographic statistics, which proves beyond doubt that there was ingest decline in the towns which formerly- and recently- had played such a vital role in the economic life of the country (Defourneaux 1979, p. 92). Defourneaux noted during Philip II Spains prosperity was ruined by the waning of the Spanish economy and people had to survive mainly on land products as most of their industries had collapsed.What I could point out about Spains society during this time is that theirs was a stubborn society. Despite of the failures of their rulers to bring them peace and prosperity, they remained loyal to their Monarchs. A gaffe in point was the collapsed of Charles II rule only to be replaced by a more inefficient king.Explain the Reason why Spain was standardized that in the Golden AgeThere had been several reasons why Spain was economically in distress during their golden age. Among these reasons were corruptions, wars, gender issue, and ineff ective leadership. William H. Robinson and Jordi Falgas however, cited that Barcelona and Madrid suffered economic decline due to trade monopoly of King Ferdinand of Argon- Catalonia and Isabella of Castile Robinson & Falgas 2006, p. 5). All this contributed to the economic difficulty that Spain had suffered during their so-called golden age.Work CitedDefourneaux, M., (1979) Daily life in the Golden Age.
