Abstract


This paper analyzes a series of masterpieces, such as funerary chapels, palatial spaces, liturgic objects and illuminated books produced during the 15th century, under the protection of the Calatrava and Santiago Orders Grand-Masters and Commanders. A detailed study of these masterpieces allows us to appreciate how these high dignities belonging to religious and military Orders had the same concernings as the laic aristocracy.
