Abstract
El trabajo supone un análisis del proceder socio-político de la Casa en el contexto de la Historia de España durante los períodos de su protagonismo, y a la luz de los criterios exigibles a las casas nobles para acceder y permanecer en el estamento, a tenor de la bibliografía más notoria al respecto y de la documentación archivística. Tras el estudio de los cuatro siglos de historia de la Casa que se fundamenta en los Señores de Biedma desde fines del siglo XIII, alcanza prestigio al entroncar con los Zúñiga a principios del XIV, se engrandece con las aportaciones de los Ulloa a finales del 1400, cobra prestigio nacional con la incorporación de los Acevedo-Fonseca en el XVI, y alcanza su mayor reconocimiento con la unión de los Guzmán-Haro en el XVII hasta su final agregación a Alba en el XVIII, se observa que reúne todos los condicionantes exigibles:
Políticamente ocuparon todos los puestos posibles del entramado político-administrativo de la Monarquía desde los adelantamientos en Galicia, las embajadas en Europa, virreinatos en América, Italia y Cataluña, o presidencias de Consejos y gobernaciones generales sin una sola desafección a la Monarquía. Militarmente estuvieron presentes en los momentos claves de nuestra Historia apoyando personalmente a los monarcas e interviniendo con gran esfuerzo humano y económico en las campañas nacionales. Económicamente sufrieron las crisis propias del estamento en la Edad Moderna, iniciando su recuperación en el primer tercio del siglo XVII tras las sentencias judiciales favorable y los beneficios reales concedidos. Socialmente usaron los símbolos de poder propios del estamento poseyendo palacios y castillos, apoyando instituciones benéfico-religiosas, fundando patronatos o dejando cuantiosas mandas testamentarias para obras pías y culturalmente favorecieron la enseñanza, crearon becas, y apoyaron las letras y el arte. Los seculares servicios prestados fueron premiados con los sucesivos títulos que la Monarquía concedió a la Casa: Condado de Monterrey, Condado de Fuentes y Marquesado de Tarazona, alcanzando la Grandeza, por lo que la Casa de Monterrey deberá ocupar el puesto de honor que le corresponde en la Historia de España y de la nobleza.
This thesis is an analysis of the socio-political acts of the House of Monterrey within the context of the history of Spain during the years of its prominence and in the light of the required criteria for the noble houses to gain access to that social class and remain in it according to the most important bibliography and documents . After studying the 4 centuries of history of the House of Monterrey, which dates back to Sr. and Sra. de Biedma at the end of the 13rd century, It is known that the House of Monterrey meets all the needed requirements of a prestigious noble house. This prestige is achieved due to the connection with the Zúñigas at the beginning of the 14th century. The Ulloas donations at the end of 15th century enhanced this reputation. More national importance and prestige was gained with the incorporation of the Acevedos- Fonsecas in the 16th century and its best recognition with the union of the Guzmán- Haros is accomplished in the 17th century until its final union to the House of Alba in the 18th century. Politically, they took over every possible post within the political -administrative scheme of the monarchy from the adelantamientos in Galicia, the embassies in Europe, viceroyalties in America, Italy and Catalonia or council presidencies and general governments showing total loyalty to the monarchy. From a military point of view, they were present in the key moments of our history supporting the kings both personally and by taking part in the national campaigns with great human and economical effort. Economically, they suffered the class crisis in the Modern Age, starting its economic recovery in the first third of the 17TH century after the favourable judicial sentences and the given royal benefits. Socially, they used the symbols of power within their class by owning palaces and castles, supporting and founding religious charities or leaving plenty of bequests to pious works. Besides, from a cultural point of view, they favoured the teaching, provided grants and supported the Arts. These centuries-old services were awarded with the following titles that the monarchy bestowed to the House such as the County of Monterrey , the County of Fuentes and the Marquisate of Tarazona. All these titles allowed the House to reach the Grandeur and that is the reason why the House of Monterrey must lead a post of honour in the history of Spain and in the nobility.
