Abstract

RESUMEN: Gracias al análisis de diversos capítulos matrimoniales, testamentos, pleitos, poderes y otra documentación, hemos realizado una breve radiografía del proceso matrimonial nobiliario, con sus causas y consecuencias para la mujer, en el Reino de Valencia del siglo XVIII. Siendo estos acuerdos entre familias uno de los elementos clave en las estrategias de consolidación y ascenso nobiliario, reciben una atención especial y un trabajo hasta el detalle antes de las nupcias. La documentación muestra diversos procesos que reforzaban la autoridad paterna y la prioridad del ascenso del linaje. Asimismo, dada la dependencia de la mujer respecto al varón en el Antiguo Régimen, se aprecia, en los acuerdos nupciales, un gran esfuerzo por asegurar la posible viudedad de la esposa. ABSTRACT: Thanks to the analysis of several marriage contracts, testaments, feuds, powers and different documentation, we have built a brief summary of the matrimony process of the nobility, with its causes and consequences for women, in the 18th century Kingdom of Valencia. As these arrangements between families were one of the key elements in the consolidation and rise strategies, they gather a special attention and a detailed work prior to the wedding. The documentation shows different processes that strengthened the fathers’ authority and the lineage rise priority. Moreover, given the Ancien Régime women's dependency on man, it can be seen, in the prenuptial agreements, a great effort to ensure the ulterior survival of the bride turn widow.
