Abstract


The author analyses the composition of the households of three prominent families of the Castilian high nobility that possessed large seigneurial estates in the North West region of Castile, near the border with the kingdoms of Aragón and Navarra: the Arellano family, counts of Aguilar, the Mendoza family, counts of Monteagudo, and the De la Cerda family, dukes of Medinaceli. He gives information about the social and geographic origin of the members of these households, and he proves that these noble families were interested in the incorporation to their households of influential members of the oligarchies of the royal towns of the region, especially of the town of Soria.
