The ways in which the public power notifies its decisions to the common population are mixed with daily activity to integrate into daily life. The legislative changes in the late Middle Ages of the Iberian Peninsula, and some homogeneous uses in the kingdom of Galicia, allows to approach them as a matter of study for the 14th and 15th centuries. This article will define the makings of such reception of power in the ways in which the receivers, society in general, perceive their notification. We will identify the main conditions by which the decisions of the governors of the space are made known, taking into account: places (squares, churches, streets or paths); sounds (bells, voices and bells); objects (texts nailed to doors); and times (market and Sunday mass).
