Focusing on the ruling class of Granada during the early modern period, the study delves into how a new elite consolidated power through the pursuit of honour and participation in politics. It highlights the importance of personal relationships among family, clients, and patrons in maintaining social stability amidst the upheaval of religious and political change, including the rise of absolutism and the Counter Reformation. This work offers valuable insights into the dynamics of early modern family structures and is crucial for historians studying early modern Spain and Europe.
