Abstract

389

The phenomenon of interpersonal violence has always been attractive to the historians who are interested in popular culture as well as in the process of creation of the modern state. Within all types of violence, the crime of infanticide was the most persecuted by justice. It also had an impact on communities and produced numerous reactions, ranging from incredulity to disdain towards the women who committed crimes against children. Canonical justice also condemned these offences through the moral theology. The goal of this article is to analyze infanticide in the modern Navarre and to compare its data with other places in Europe. Navarre, which once was a small kingdom on the border of France, keeps in the Archivo General de Navarra sources thal allow historians to study the crime of infanticide from several points of view and analize it both from a quantitative and a qualitative perspective.
