From the 11th century onwards, al-Andalus underwent a prolonged period of decline, with the regions Jaen playing a special role until their subordination to Castille. From this historic process arose the so-called Kingdom of Jaen, a territory which, with slught changes, remained unaltered throughout the Old Regime. The administrative restructuring in 1833 saw the end of these historically rooted boundaries and the inception of a new provincial framework. However, while in some areas there was no substantial change from former limits, the borders of Jaen were extended to include districts previously part of La Mancha and Murcia. If one adds to this the formation, well into the 18th century, of the Sierra Morena district, it can be said that Jaen evidences one of the most significant changes to have taken place in Andalucia. This article assesses the territorial changes with emphasis on the population structure.
