SPAINISH ROYALTY & NOBILITY
Spain’s royal and noble archives preserve the documentary legacy of one of Europe’s oldest and most influential monarchies. From the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, through the Habsburg and Bourbon dynasties to the modern reigns of King Alfonso XIII and King Juan Carlos I, Spanish royal documents and historical manuscripts illuminate centuries of imperial expansion, diplomacy, military affairs, and court ceremony.
