Abstract

Beginning with the establishment of the Court in Madrid and the role of middle class in the Old Regime, the origin of the association of the Five Greatest unions is studied, as well as their regulations and their functions as a mercantile institution -when changing into a society privileged by shares-, and as a pre-capitalist financing institution and antecedent of the modern banking.
