Historia del archivo, memoria de nobleza. La labor de Santiago Sáez en la casa de Medina Sidonia a mediados del siglo XVIII
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The study of noble houses has been enriched by the inclusion of a number of themes that go beyond the nobles and their successors. In this sense, research pays particular attention to the role played by servants and senior administrators in the processes of crisis or reproduction of power and noble status. In this historiographical vein, the main objective of this article is to analyse an unpublished work by the archivist of Medina Sidonia, Santiago Sáez. Through his story of the transfer of the house's archives to Madrid, we examine the main milestones of the identity of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia, which the author establishes in the mid-eighteenth century.
