Abstract

Five days before her death on February 11, 1587, Maria de Mendoza, VII Countess of Ribadavia, gave possession of all her assets not subject to the family’s entailed estate to her daughter Maria Sarmiento, duchess of Sessa. This paper aims to reconstruct the story of this rich heritage and to explain the process by which the family palace in Valladolid was emptied by the duchess.
