Long a Privileged Class The Spanish grandees
The term Spanish grandees signified Spain’s high nobility dating to the thirteenth century. They enjoyed hereditary honors, tax exemptions, and the right to serve foreign princes in war without treason penalties. They could remain covered before the sovereign and faced no civil or criminal summons without royal warrant. National assemblies favored them over other nobles. Ferdinand and Isabella reduced their privileges. Charles V limited families to 16 and made them dependent. Joseph Bonaparte abolished their dignities, later partially restored by Ferdinand VII.
