''Merindad'' ((:meɾinˈdað)) is a Mediaeval Spanish administrative term that refers to a country subdivision smaller than a province but larger than a municipality. It was roughly approximate to the English ''count'' or ''bailiff''. The officer in charge of a merindad was called a merino. It was used in the kingdoms of Castile and Navarre. Connected to the birth of Castile, the Merindades of the province of Burgos were part of the creation of the administrative division by King Pedro I and still use this term. Currently, the Foral Community of Navarre keeps the ''merindad'' as a historical division, and the northernmost ''comarca'' of Burgos province is called Merindades. Administratively, they have been substituted by the ''partido judicial''. In Biscay, the ''mancomunidades comarcales'' keep the place of the old ''merindades'', such as Duranguesado. ==See also== * Partidos of Buenos Aires, a second-level administrative subdivision * Partidos of Chile in Colonial Chile, a second-level administrative subdivision 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Merindad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
