| Summary: | Catalonia underwent profound changes at the beginning at the eighteenth century. the Succession War put and end to the typical Catalan institutions under the Austria. At the end of this political conflict, the main royal institution, that’s to say the Real Audiencia, was awarded a new structure in 1716. this new one bears no resemblance to the previous period. And one of the major changes was the new sala penal. As a result of this fact, we’ve been interested in knowing their social background. We have been able to find useful data on their university studies, and the jobs they were offered before being well-known judges. These data have been intertwined with their family origins because in this way we can appreciate better why they had such interesting careers. |
