Sumario:This article analyses the different strategies deployed by the Cerdán de Landa family to climb socially during such an uncertain period as the War of the Spanish Succession, when family alliances, political and economic events could make a decisive impact on the status of individuals. The various members of the Cerdan family, through their loyalty to Felipe V and their social position within the local elite of Cuenca, their incorporation in the Council, the occupation of several positions within the Inquisition or their involvement in diverse economic activities, managed to attain higher social status during a period of great instability. The successful development of different strategies provided them with resources to undertake a process of upward social mobility within a society which is revealed to be not so stagnant
