This paper analyzes the goods inventory of Zapata’s palace, a lineage of squirers installed in Calatayud (Aragon, Iberic Peninsula). The text is transcribed at the its end in Appendix. The inventories allow us to know deeply the material world the late medieval families. The configuration of the Zapata’s rich movable patrimony did not only depend on the relieved economic level that they enjoyed but it responded to a strategy to reinforce the values that distinguished them like members of the low Aragonese nobility and that, therefore, justified their dominant social position.
