In medieval Spanish and Portuguese law, an official safe-conduct or permit granted by a ruler allowing someone to travel safely through territory.
From Medieval Latin 'conducta,' derived from Latin 'conducere' (to lead or conduct). The term was used in Iberian medieval legal systems and appears in historical documents from that period.
Medieval kingdoms issued these permits like medieval passports—'conducta' was your official permission slip to travel through dangerous lands, and without it, you could be robbed or arrested with legal impunity by local authorities.
