Sumario:With regard to the biographies of the Duke of Lerma, a favourite of Philip III, King of Spain (1598-1621), recently published by Antonio Feros, Alfredo Alvar Ezquerra and Patrick Williams, the author seeks to give account of historiograpy that have inquired about the legal-political phenomenon of the royal favour in the Modern Age, based on the two key papers on the subject, the work of Francisco Tomás y Valiente, and José Antonio Escudero, and trying to analyze what would be the most appropriate and fruitful method for research, in accordance with the nature of the institution for study. At the same time, is shown that the historical knowledge being the shared biography of mankind, the Law History is the historiography of the power, policy and institutionalized, so that the biography, individual and social, as neccesary incarnation of such power, is the best, but the only, prospect for observation, study and research. For this, it is a synthetic route on status of biography in literature, film and, especially, historiography, from the nineteenth-century positivism and historicism, to historical materialism (structural, cultural), the total History of Annales School, and Cliometrics, History quantitative or New Economic History, to the modern trends of what is known as postmodernism (Micro-History, Oral History, History of everyday life, Conceptual History, New Cultural History or Social-Cultural History, Post-History). With special emphasis on the contemporary narrativism (Linguistic Turn, Deconstructionism), which, based on linguistic self-consciousness of modern man, has led to the overthrow of the author and the independence of the text (with their contexts, pretexts and hypertexts), when to say something about the world, believing that History is reading text, and no consideration of facts, being more important than facts interpretations.
