«Poderoso en parientes e rentas»: Concepts, Discourses and Practices about Lineage on Lope García de Salazar

<p>The matter of the power of nobility in the Late Middle Ages is dealt with focusing on lineage/lignage in the works of the elder and historian Lope García de Salazar. Lineage is key to understanding the nature of that power, as well as nobility’s values, practices and ability for social reproduction. To this purpose Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of <em>habitus</em> is used analytically, evaluating the extent to which it can be useful to the historian.</p>
