The transformation of the Andalusian fortress of Taibilla into a feudal border castleIn this paper, we will study the fortress of Taibilla, a defensive complex built by the Order of Santiago in the middle of the thirteenth century in a strategic point of the Sierra de Segura, currently belonging to the municipality of Nerpio (Albacete). Although the complex was built at the top of the hill on whose hillside a relatively important town existed in Andalusian times, the archaeological excavations proved that most of the remains of the fortification currently visible were built after the Christian conquest. It is a stately castle and the outer enclosure that protected the Christian town, both of notable importance since they were destined to accommodate a comendador and a council respectively. The Encomienda de Taibilla, however, disappeared within a few years due to the avatars of the border, leaving its territory incorporated to that of Yeste. For this reason, the fortress of Taibilla hardly underwent modifications in the medieval period, so that it has been fossilized as an excellent example of the santiaguista stately architecture of the middle of the thirteenth century.

La Orden Militar de Santiago favoreció la presencia del elemento femenino desde su fundación. A diferencia de otras órdenes militares, sus caballeros podían casarse y formar familia, creándose dinastías en el seno de la Orden. Sus miembros, muy próximos a la Corona, ocupaban los más altos cargos dentro de la milicia y sus dominios durante varias generaciones por lo que las familias, para inmortalizar su nombre y asociarlo a las comunidades a las que servían, hacían donación de bienes y objetos que reflejaban su grandeza y la de la familia a la que pertenecían. En un viaje por los textos de las visitas pastorales realizadas en el territorio de la Orden de Santiago desde finales del siglo XV hasta la primera mitad del siglo XVI, trataremos de demostrar la importancia de las mujeres en dichas donaciones analizando la naturaleza de los objetos donados por ellas y las razones de su elección.

Founded in 1573 by Rui Salema and Catarina Sotto Mayor Salema, the Convento de Nossa Senhora de Aracoeli was located in the old house of the Order of Santiago. Extinct in 1874 it was in ruins by the renovation undertaken for the building of Pousada D. Afonso II. Following the excavation, carried out between 1993 and 1997, expressive archaeological remains were identified, including a diverse collection of Portuguese faience. The issue that is presented relates to incised motifs which the study of the faience, collected in two sites from the conventual fence, reveled. Therefore, this study uses a selected assemblage as a socioeconomic indicator, leading it to be associated with the conventual, perhaps prophylactic, daily routine of Alcácer do Sal.

En 1539, don Cristóbal Paullo, uno de los hijos del inca Huayna Cápac, fue nombrado «inca» como parte de una estrategia política de los españoles. Desde entonces tuvo acceso a encomiendas de indios. Don Cristóbal se casó con doña Catalina Tocto Oxica y tuvieron dos hijos: don Carlos Inquill Topa y don Felipe Inquill Topa. Don Carlos Inquil Topa se casó con doña María Esquivel Amarilla y tuvieron un solo hijo llamado Melchor Carlos Inca. El nacimiento de Melchor fue visto por la población nativa como un gran acontecimiento pues había nacido un «rey inca», el cual incluso llegó a ser temido por los funcionarios españoles coloniales al saber que se referían a él como «Cápac Inca». Don Melchor Carlos Inca se identificaba como nieto de don Cristóbal Paullo Inca y bisnieto del inca Huayna Cápac. Se convirtió en un personaje importante dentro de la sociedad virreinal cusqueña. Don Melchor fue bautizado y se casó con doña Leonor Arias Carrasco, hija del conquistador Pedro Alonso Carrasco, ambos eventos fueron significativos para la sociedad cusqueña. La encomienda de Pichigua, de propiedad de don Melchor, era de mucha importancia económica y social, por ello para mantener esta encomienda y sus actividades sociales/políticas, se vio obligado a vender e hipotecar por vía de censo parte de su patrimonio. En 1599, el virrey Luis de Velasco dio una comisión al capitán Antonio Pereira (regidor perpetuo) para averiguar la ascendencia y los servicios de los ancestros de don Melchor. En 1603, don Melchor viajó a España para reclamar sus privilegios y logró su inclusión como Caballero de la Orden de Santiago. La descendencia de Cristóbal Paullo Inca logró establecer y constituir la capilla de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en el convento e iglesia de San Francisco, donde tuvieron el honor de tener una bóveda funeraria, la cual fue cuidada y mantenida por sus descendientes hasta el siglo XVII.  Abstract In 1539, don Cristobal Paullo, one of the sons of the Inca ruler Huayna Capac, was named «Inca» as a political strategy of the Spaniards. Since then, he received an encomienda. Don Cristobal was married to doña Catalina Tocto Oxica and had two sons, don Carlos Inquill Topa and don Felipe Inquill Topa. Don Carlos Inquil Topa married doña Maria Esquivel Amarilla and had only one son named Melchor Carlos Inca. The birth of Melchor was seen by the native population as a great event because an “Inca king” had been born, he even became feared by the colonial Spanish officials when they knew he was referred as the «Capac Inca». Don Melchor Carlos Inca identified himself as grandson of don Cristobal Paullo Inca and great-grandson of the Inca Huayna Capac. He became an important figure within the Cuzco›s colonial society. Don Melchor was baptized and married doña Leonor Arias Carrasco, daughter of the Spanish conquistador Pedro Alonso Carrasco, both events were meaningful for Cusco society. Don Melchors’ encomienda of Pichigua was of great economic and social importance, in order to maintain this encomienda and his social/political activities, he had to sell or mortgage part of his inherited patrimony. In 1599, the Viceroy Luis de Velasco ordered captain Antonio Pereira («regidor perpetuo») to ascertain the ancestry and services of don Mechor and his ancestors. In 1603, don Melchor traveled to Spain in order to claim his privileges and succeeded at obtaining a knighthood in the Order of Santiago. The descendants of Cristóbal Paullo Inca established the Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the Convent and Church of San Francisco where they had the honour of having a burial vault which was carefully guarded and maintained by their descendants until 17th Century.

Elizabeth I had people of Jewish origin in her personal circle, such as the famous physician Rodrigo Lopez, who was a relative of an influential Jew called Álvaro Mendes. Mendes was born in Portugal, and later took refuge in the Ottoman Empire, where he was known as Salomon ibn Ya’ish; we know that he exchanged correspondence with Elizabeth I, and the queen always favoured him in her missives to Sultan Murad III. The queen knew that Mendes received, while a Christian, a knighthood in the Order of Santiago, since she dubbed him ‘Eques’ in her correspondence. So even if ibn Ya’ish lived exiled in the Ottoman Empire, Elizabeth I still considered him a ‘Westerner’. The question that arises is: to what extent did this pragmatic diplomacy of Elizabeth I with Islamic states where some ‘Western’ Jews appear as pivotal elements shape their image in Elizabethan England, especially in the eclectic circles in which Shakespeare lived?
