Abstract
Una rama de la familia Saavedra, que ejerció en la Edad Media el oficio de mariscales
de Castilla en la frontera con el reino de Granada, resurge en la Edad Moderna
cuando la dignidad se transfiere a los Pardo Tavera, que compran a la Corona dos
antiguas encomiendas como dominios estables, caso de Malagón que en 1599 fue
erigido en marquesado.
Estos marqueses entroncaron después, a partir del siglo XVII, con otras casas
nobiliarias peninsulares, pasando su Archivo a incorporarse sucesivamente, primero
en el siglo XVIII, al de los duques de Santisteban del Puerto y, definitivamente en
1818, al de los duques de Medinaceli. El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer
el Archivo de mariscales de Castilla y marqueses de Malagón, desde su formación
hasta nuestros días, tratando de sus escrituras, de su organización documental
y su disposición actual, para facilitar el camino a futuras investigaciones sobre
estos fondos. Para ello, metodológicamente, no solo hemos trabajado en el
fondo documental conservado en el Archivo Ducal de Medinaceli aquí objeto de
estudio, revisando sus inventarios y analizando las marcas dorsales de cada pieza
documental, sino también en la documentación de referencia que se conserva
en otros Archivos.
A branch of the Saavedra family, that held the office of Marshal of Castile on the border with the kingdom of Granada during the Middle Ages, reappears during the Modern period when this office was transferred to the Pardo-Tavera family, who bought two old commanderies (encomiendas) and turned them into permanent lordships. This was the case with Malagón, which became a marquisate in 1599. From the seventeenth century onwards, these marquises married into other noble families in Spain. Their family archive passed into the hands of the Dukes of Santisteban del Puerto during the eighteenth century and eventually ended up with the Dukes of Medinaceli in 1818. This paper aims to trace the history of the archives of the Marquises of Malagón from its creation to the present day. We will provide a thorough analysis of the documents contained in this archive and examine their organization and current arrangement as a guide for future studies on these documents. In terms of the methodology used, we have not only worked on the archival collection kept in the ducal archives of Medinaceli –the main object of this study– reviewing their inventories and analysing the marks on the backside of each documentary piece, but also contrasting the records with important documents preserved in other archives.
