Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the mechanisms used by the nobility to insert their servants inside the urban governments. For that purpose, we will take as an example the access of Francisco de Brizuela, accountant of the house of Velasco, to the mayor’s office in Burgos. In this way, this paper analyses the use of economical capital, that was often been used by the nobility through the buying and selling of offices, but, above all, the mobilization of relational capital by this group social with this objective.
