Infos

This long-durée study contributes to a deep knowledge of the formation of ruling elites, nobility, political class and rich families in southern Europe (Spain) during the transition from the Ancien Régime to the nineteenth century’s new liberal regimes.

Autor

This study will appeal to students, scholars and lecturers in early modern history of Europe, micro-history experts, as well as global history and socio-economic and cultural studies in Europe, the Americas and East Asia (Japan, China). It will also serve for students at all levels (undergraduate, master and PhD) who are studying the basics of early modern European (Spanish) history, as well as to prepare master and PhD thesis since the book introduces a new case study mining historical data. The readership also reaches non-specialists since the technical words of the book can be understood by the general reader, not only specialists, and the fashionable issue on genealogies rise the interest of the book for non-specialists.
