Abstract

This study tie down the traditional vision of a nobility scarcely interested in intervening, in a corporate and united way, in the Spanish politics at the first decade of the 19th century. The creation, management and organization of the General Assembly of Greatness (1815) is analyzed, an occasion that made possible the creation of his Permanent Deputation, which would continue to exist until today. Some members of the high nobility tried to use that organism as a tool to intervene in politics, defending their interests and revaluing their prestige, by being able to address directly to the Crown, in a reign where she reached the highest levels of political rule of the entire nineteenth century. If it was a failed strategy, not for it being an important attempt to revalue the nobility´s political protagonism.
