The marriage of João de Alarcão and Margarida Soares and the creation of a transnational Portuguese-Spanish nobility

The main aim of this chapter is to analyze the social and political effects of dynastic marriages between the Portuguese and Castilian-Aragonese crowns on the configuration of transnational, aristocratic families during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. To illustrate these questions we have chosen to follow the Soares de Alarcão family (known in Spain as Suárez de Alarcón) and the paths it took between the royal houses of Portugal and Castile for seven generations. The working hypothesis of the chapter is that the identity of the Iberian nobility during this era was characterized by a shared noble culture rather than by any particular features derived from the family’s land of origin. That assumption allows us to discuss whether the use of a particular language or culture indicates ties or political loyalties based on criteria of nationality, or, at the very least, place of birth. Therefore, this essay discusses the miscegenation of Iberian nobilities derived from dynastic marriages. It articulates the structural characteristics of this group and its political impact with the individual trajectories and historical contexts in which they developed. While these topics can be of interest for the comprehension of Portuguese early modern history, they can also help us to reflect more broadly on processes of identity construction.

Las Reales viruelas, muerte e inoculación en la Corte española

Durante el siglo XVIII, la viruela alcanzó su máxima expresión como enfermedad devastadora, y se convirtió en la primera causa de mortalidad infantil. En su deambular como azote mundial, diezmaba la población afectando a todas las clases sociales. Las monarquías europeas sufrieron la virulencia de la enfermedad, y se produjeron cambios notables en el devenir de las casas reales por el fallecimiento de reyes o príncipes herederos. La introducción de la inoculación como remedio preventivo contra la viruela fue apoyada por las monarquías, pero no se aplicó de manera sistemática, lo que redujo su impacto en las estadísticas de mortalidad. Revisamos los efectos de la viruela en la Corte española, enfermedad que llevó a la extinción de la Casa de Austria y afectó también a los borbones; de manera tardía, estos aceptaron la inoculación y contribuyeron a la propagación de la vacuna.
