Abstract

The present paper delves into a defining aspect in the life of the highest Castilian noble men and women during the Modern Era: their patronage of ecclesiastical institutions. In order to do so, the paper analyzes the figure of the First Duke of Lerma and the power he exerted on the town of Lerma, the capital of his states. Thus, these pages provides an opportunity to know how patronage rights found expression in the rules of an institution like the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter and what entitlements and privileges the founder patron sought to keep for himself and his heirs.
