86 MAGDALENA DE PAZZIS PI CORRALES ABSTRACT The history of the guards of Castile is that of the set of ordinances that originate, from the beginning of the sixteenth century, until the end of its existence, in the first decade of the next century. In these can be verified the concern of the ruler to efficiently equip this unit and to fulfill its service and functions. However, the increasingly complex international situation will cause successively the reforms that are projected from the beginning to be postponed again and again, without their efficacy being demonstrated and, therefore, their raison d’être. This article takes a look at these ordinances and reveals the inoperability of the reforms, either because they are not monitored for compliance, or because they are transposed and ineffective in their renewal objectives. KEY WORDS: Ordinances, guards, renewal, breach, inefficiency. * * * * * Revista de Historia Militar, I extraordinario de 2017, pp. 86-100. ISSN: 0482-5748
