Abstract
En este trabajo se analizan las fundaciones de mayorazgos por parte de los prebendados de la catedral de Murcia durante los siglos XVI y XVII para saber hasta qué punto obedecían a la lógica de las estrategias familiares. Una de las posibles explicaciones radica en el hecho de que los capitulares se sentían miembros de unas familias que les habían apoyado en sus carreras eclesiásticas y con la fundación de los vínculos devolvían en parte los favores recibidos, al tiempo que lograban la perpetuación de los linajes y su mantenimiento. Por esta razón, los prebendados ocuparon un papel central en la transmisión del patrimonio familiar, actuando como redistribuidores de la riqueza puesto que, con frecuencia, favorecerían a las líneas más desprotegidas de los linajes.
Abstract: In this paper the foundations of mayorazgos (primogeniture) made by the prebendaries of the Cathedral of Murcia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are analyzed. One possible explanation lies in the fact that the prebendaries were considered, above all, members of some families who had supported them in their ecclesiastical careers. When they founded mayorazgos returned the support received from family. At the same time, they achieved the perpetuation of lineages and its maintenance. For this reason, the prebendaries occupied a central paper in the transmission of the familiar heritage, acting as redistributors of the wealth since they often helped the most unprotected lines of the lineages.
