It aims to shed light on how upper social classes arranged strategies to maintain their political and economic status. Rivalry and disputes between old factions and families were attached to the control and exercise of power. Blood, land management and honour were the main elements in these disputes. Honour, service to the Crown, participation in the conquest and ‘pure’ blood (Catholic affiliation) were the main features of Spanish nobility. This book analyses the origins of the entailed-estate (mayorazgo) from medieval times to early modern period, as the main element that enables us to understand the socio-economic behaviour of these families over generations. This longue durée chronology within the Braudelian methodology of the research aims to show how strategies and family networks changed over time, demonstrating a micro-history study of daily life.Blood, Land and Power Spainbicsscc 1500 to c 1600bicsscc 1600 to c 1700bicsscc 1700 to c 1800bicsscc 1800 to c 1900bicsscEuropean historybicsscSocial classesbicsscIberian and Latin American Studies;Spanish history;Spanish nobility;social classes;lineageSpainc 1500 to c 1600c 1600 to c 1700c 1700 to c 1800c 1800 to c 1900European historySocial classesPerez-Garcia Manuelauth849963BOOK9910476756403321Blood, Land and Power3019539UNINA
