Ascenso político y «travestismo» en la corte del rey de España: un episodio de la trayectoria de don García de Haro, segundo conde de Castrillo
Abstract
The political scenario at the court of Madrid was no stranger to the predica ments shown by the playwrights of Spain’s Golden Age. Delving into British Library sources, this article refers to a litigation between the Council of Castile and one of its members, Don García de Haro y Avellaneda. It was brought about by the latter’s determination, in 1630, to use cape and sword and stop wearing the garnacha or toga once he became Count of Castrillo and entered the Council of State. Once the Council of Castile made known its fi erce opposition to the change of dress, both parties appealed directly to the king. The former in demand for justice, the latter in defense of a custom entrenched since the 1580s. The author deals with the political and juridical implications of that litigation, as well as with the royal verdict of the year 1632, favourable to Castrillo.
