Hermandades, or brotherhoods, were local self-policing groups in Spain during the late Middle Ages, often established to maintain order in rural areas. While they provided a means for communities to assert control and reduce crime, their impact on the power of nobility varied. In some regions, hermandades challenged noble authority by enforcing justice independently, which could diminish the nobles' influence. However, in many cases, nobles co-opted these brotherhoods to serve their interests, ultimately limiting their capacity to significantly reduce noble power.
