Poderosos y privilegiados : los Caballeros de Santiago de Jaén (siglos XVI-XVIII)

This book analyses the main characteristics of the trials undertaken to obtain the habit of Santiago in the city of Jaen during the modern age. In these spaces aspirants, informers and witnesses shared a stage and provoked undeniable conflict within the society of the old regime. The result was evident permissiveness in social ascent, which was consolidated definitively with the granting of privilege, and which entailed more or less explicit recognition of the power of the beneficiaries.
