Description
Summary:This article is aimed at showing the important role played by a member of the Castillian low nobility at the service of Felipe V during the Spanish War of Succession.This service helped him to achieve a series of favours and acknowledgments which will send /sent him directly to the Court. This fact proved the possibilities of social promotion which brought about a military conflict to those who, being loyal to the new dynasty, took advantage of a convulsed moment to promote socially. The II Marquis of Valdeguerrero knew how to capitalize the effort made along the battle for his own advantage, achieving a great social promotion.
