This article analyzes the rescue of captives during truces signed by the Nasrid
Emirate of Granada (1232-1492) and the Kingdom of Castile during the 13th-15th
centuries. We know that one of the major impacts of border activity and battles
beyond it was the taking of captives, who suffered the consequences while
maintaining a distant hope for rescue. The lucky ones found their freedom, whether
because they were indeed rescued or because they escaped.
For both capture and rescue, the texts of the truces include a series of mechanisms
that respond to a border context undergoing phases of violence and influenced by
the internal problems of each state.
