Resumen: La infancia y la adolescencia suponen un período vital en la formación de la personalidad del individuo. Si ese período ya puede resultar duro y traumático según determinadas épocas, aún lo puede ser más si los actores del proceso son huérfanos. Presentamos aquí una contextualización sobre la vida de los huérfanos del territorio castellonense del Maestrazgo de Montesa durante la Edad Media. Para ello utilizamos los registros notariales conservados en la zona. De toda la documentación consultada hacemos especial mención a las tutelas porque ofrecen datos indiciarios sobre cómo se desarrolló la vida de esos jóvenes hasta alcanzar la mayoría de edad legal.Abstract: Childhood and adolescence represent a vital period in the formation of the individual's personality. If that period can already be hard and traumatic according to certain times, it can be even more so if the actors in the process are orphans. We present here a contextualization about the life of the orphans of the Maestrazgo de Montesa in Castellon during the Middle Ages. For this we use the notarial records kept in the area. Of all the documentation consulted, we make special mention of the guardianships because they offer indicative data on how the life of these young people developed until they reached the legal age of majority.

The Middle Ages

To the men and women of the Middle Ages the figure of Constantine loomed large over the fourth century. Born a pagan, he converted to Christianity and became the first Christian emperor, the convenor of councils, the defender of orthodoxy, the builder of churches, the herald of a new age, the founder of Christian Europe. But to the men and women of the later fourth century, the generation of John Chrysostom, it was not Constantine, but Julian, raised a Christian only to forsake his “hereditary piety,” Julian the pagan emperor, Julianus Apostata, whose deeds were alive in their memory. The age of Constantine was part of past history, but Julian's actions, abortive as they may have appeared to later generations, were still remembered not only by the old, says John Chrysostom, but also by the “young people” of our day.
