This book argues that Renaissance culture and chivalric culture were both central to how “nobility” was sought and defined in early modern Spain. It is the first monograph in English to examine the history and self-fashioning of the famous Granada Venegas family, Morisco knights from Granada, and to analyse the remnants of their family archive in Genoa. -- .
How does a Morisco enter the Spanish nobility? This book reveals the cultural strategies through which a family of converts from Islam to Christianity overcame limpieza de sangre laws, rose in social status, avoided King Philip III’s Morisco expulsions of 1609-14, and achieved a noble title. Drawing on archival sources from both Spain and Italy to re-create the original family archive, this book follows the Granada Venegas family from Granada, to Madrid, to the dusty Andalucían town of Campotéjar, of which they became Marquises, and finally to Italy. Their descendants would serve as Doges of Genoa in the eighteenth century. -- .
