This article analyses the presence of genealogical topics in the dedicatories to noblemen and women of the 16th and 17th hagiographic accounts. These topics are framed by two main concepts. On one side, the teological idea that presented Heaven as an aristocratic Baroque royal court. On the other, the teological holiness of noble saints capitalised by families, noble hourseholds and lineages. En este artículo se analizan los discursos genealógicos presentes en las dedicatorias de las hagiografías patrocinadas por nobles entre los siglos XVI y XVII. Este análisis se enmarca dentro de un doble contexto: por una parte, el de la imagen teológica del cielo concebido como una corte nobiliaria barroca. Por la otra, del proceso de asimilación de los linajes nobiliarios de la figura de los santos, presentados como miembros de la nobleza, y, a la vez, del intento de los linajes de apropiarse de la nobleza sobrenatural de sus antepasados canonizados.

Nuestro objetivo es analizar las breves y rudimentarias narraciones sobre los edificios históricos que hoy albergan lujosos y exclusivos hoteles que se encuentran en las páginas web de los Hoteles Boutique, entendidas como narrativas legitimadoras de un poder que sustituye violentamente a otro pero que se pretende su sucesor natural., My main goal is to analyze the short so-called historic narratives present in websites of luxurious Boutique Hotels. I will consider these brief stories as legitimization texts produced in order to show the present gentrified city centre as the natural evolution of Medieval, Early Modern and Modern City

En este artículo se analiza tanto la condición nobiliaria de los santos de la Monarquía Católica canonizados en el siglo XVII como la manera en que tal santidad fue capitalizada por familias, Casas nobiliarias y linajes, sobre todo en los relatos hagiográficos. En este contexto narrativo inseriremos algunas de las hagiografías dedicadas a dos de los tres primeros santos jesuitas, San Ignacio de Loyola y San Francisco de Borja. Finalmente, veremos cómo se articuló en la práctica la alianza Loyola-Borja con la creación del marquesado de Santiago de Oropesa concedido por Felipe III en 1614 a doña Ana María de Loyola Coya, descendiente de los soberanos incas, y cómo se articularon los elementos simbólicos derivados del doble origen inca y jesuita de esta Casa nobiliaria., Neste artigo são analisadas a condição nobiliárquica dos santos da monarquia católica canonizados no século XVII e a forma como essa santidade foi capitalizada por famílias, casas nobiliárquica e linhagens, especialmente em relatos hagiográficos. Neste contexto narrativo inseriremos algumas das hagiografias dedicados a dois dos três primeiros santos jesuítas, Santo Inácio de Loyola e São Francisco de Borja. Finalmente, veremos como se articulou na prática a aliança Loyola-Borja com a criação do Marquesado de Santiago de Oropesa concedido por Filipe III em 1614 a D. Ana Maria de Loyola Coya, descendente dos soberanos incas, e como se articularam os elementos simbólicos derivados da dupla origem inca e jesuíta desta casa nobre., This article analyses the noble condition of the canonized saints of the Catholic Monarchy in the 17th century and how this holiness was capitalised by families, noble houses and lineages, in particular within the hagiographic accounts. In this narrative context, we include some of the hagiographies dedicated to two of the three first Jesuit saints, Saint Ignatius of Loyola and Saint Francisco de Borja. Finally, we consider how the Loyola-Borja alliance was in practice combined with the founding of the marquis status of Santiago de Oropesa, granted by Felipe III in 1614 to Ana Maria de Loyola Coya, a descendant of the Inca rulers, and just how the symbolic features stemming from the double Inca and Jesuit origin of this noble house were articulated.

The aim of this article is to put in context the courtly rebellion against Philip V in 1705, the so-called Banquillo affair. I argue that this episode belongs to a tradition of aristocratic rebellion against royal tyranny that can be traced to at least the beginning of the 17th century.

The aim of this article is to show how the composite and international domains and fiefs of early modern Spanish Monarchy aristocracy allowed noble households to become a type of transnational juridical space. From the later centuries of the Middle Ages onwards two related developments took place in Europe: the formation of composite monarchies and the emergence of (nonetheless composite) elites. In early modern Europe, the existence of an aristocracy with domains in different kingdoms was a matter of fact. Litigation was an everyday activity for the aristocracy, and as a consequence of its cosmopolitan fiefs and inheritances noblemen and their lawyers were compelled to be familiar with several national legalities and property systems. As a consequence, news regarding courts, suits, local rights and privileges reached the main households of different kingdoms on an ongoing basis. Because of this, household offices and archives became spaces where cosmopolitan legal expertise and knowledge were filed and studied. Noblemen quickly discovered the advantages of the confusion and the conflicting use of foreign legislation in the courts.
