Círculos de poder en el mundo nobiliario: linaje, conflicto y mayorazgo. El caso de la familia Orozco en la Sevilla del XVIII. / Power in Aristocratic Circles: Lineage, Conflicts and Entail. The Case of the Orozco Family in 18th Century Seville.
Abstract
RESUMEN: El estudio de la familia Orozco en el escenario sevillano permite acercarnos a un modelo social frecuente en la sociedad moderna: el ascenso y carrera de las familias nobiliarias. Los Orozco muestran el prototipo social de enriquecimiento, obtención de beneficios eclesiásticos, acumulación de títulos nobiliarios, riqueza y poder. La máxima manifestación de esto será la fundación del mayorazgo Orozco-Ayala y que más tarde propició diversos conflictos familiares. El pleito por la sucesión del mayorazgo demuestra la ambición presente en las familias del momento por el dominio del linaje y además estuvo protagonizado por tres individuos que representan un interesante perfil que enriquece con creces este análisis: una mujer, un clérigo y un descendiente natural de este.
ABSTRACT: The study of the Orozco family in Seville allows us to better understand a social model that is frequent in Modern society: the rise to power of aristocratic families. The Orozco family are a typical example of such prosperity. They accumulated wealth and power, titles of nobility and ecclesiastical benefits, all of which culminated in the foundation of the Orozco-Ayala entail. This was later to produce many family conflicts relating to the inheritance. In this particular case, three people were involved in the dispute: a woman, a priest and his illegitimate descendent.
