Historically, in Old Castile, there were large regions devoid of trees – a natural resource that was essential for supplying firewood to the local populations. This deficiency was much more severe in cities where the demand for fuel was higher. Beginning in the High Middle Ages, the Montes de Oca Region –a very prominent forest area near the city of Burgos– became the territory on which the lords and powerful men of the city set their sights and from which the residents of the neighboring regions got their firewood supply. All this gave rise to intense fragmentation that was left at the mercy of council and monastery boards, as well as to the subsequent set of grievances and special agreements which ensued from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries.
Históricamente en Castilla la Vieja había amplias comarcas carentes del arbolado, imprescindible para el abastecimiento de leña para sus poblaciones. Esta carencia era mucho más grave en las ciudades donde la demanda de combustible era mayor. Desde la Plena Edad Media los Montes de Oca, como espacio forestal muy destacado y próximo a la ciudad de Burgos, se convirtieron en territorio en el que se concentraron las apetencias de los señores y poderosos de la ciudad y en el que se abastecían los vecinos de diversos concejos comarcanos. Todo ello dio lugar a una fuerte fragmentación en manos de juntas de concejos y de monasterios y al subsiguiente juego de pleitos y concordias que se fueron sucediendo entre los siglos XIV y XVII.
