(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2015) Pastor Abáigar, Víctor
Through this work we want to present a member of 17th century rural nobility. His father’s family had, in previous generations since the Middle
Ages, occupied regimentary positions in Los Arcos,
and his mother’s family were part of a distinguished
social status in the town of Azagra in the south of
Navarre.
He was the only child of his father’s first marriage
and as an adult he inherited a house, land, livestock
and bodegas, all with entailed estate. His father’s
good management of the inheritance is clear. Of
particular note are the private chapel in the parish
cloisters of Los Arcos and an oratory in his ancestral
house.
During his military training in the Order of Saint
James, he served under Luis Méndez de Haro y Guzmán,
the third Count-Duke de Olivares.
