Abstract

The Constitutio de Hispanis prima is a legislative order issued by Louis the Pious that guaranteed imperial protection and freedom to refugees from Umayyad al-Andalus and regulated their property and legal situation. The article contextualizes the Constitutio within a series of similar documents relating to Hispanic immigrants in the Frankish-Andalusian border region. The document can be regarded as an expression of an increasingly direct use of power by the Frankish ruler, who wanted to secure the border zone with Muslim al-Andalus by settling a group of migrants who were committed to him.
