Abstract

Historia Social, Historia de la Familia e Historia Política convergen en el presente artículo para intentar analizar cómo se forma la casa de Alba, y avanzar en su trayectoria de ascenso social desde el siglo XIII, cuando son miembros de la oligarquía toledana, hasta 1531, inicios del periodo del ducado de Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, el Grande. En ese proceso desempeña un destacado papel las alianzas matrimoniales con casas aristocráticas de más lustre (Enríquez y Benavente) y con posterioridad, especialmente en el siglo XVI, la recurrencia a matrimonios entre parientes muy cercanos en grado de consanguinidad. Social History, Family History and Political History converge on this article, in which we try to analyse how the house of Alba was formed, and progress in the trajectory of social ascent the house of Alba experienced from the 13th century —when they were members of the oligarchy of Toledo— until 1531, when the Duchy was created for Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, the Great. In this process, marital alliances with more prestigious aristocratic families, such as the Enríquez and the Benavente, played a prominent role, and subsequently, in the sixteenth century, marriages between close relatives with some degree of consanguinity became recurrent.
