While the \u003cem\u003eSiete Partidas\u003c\/em\u003e codified the laws of the entire realm, the \u003cem\u003eFuero real\u003c\/em\u003e--intended for the towns of Castile and Extremadura--sought to replace diverse local customs with a unified legal framework. Comprising four books, it addresses the Catholic faith and the rights of the Church; the king and his authority; laws and the administration of justice; marriage and inheritance; buying and selling; heretics; Jews; and criminal acts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedieval history professor Joseph F.
