Abstract

The Kies: from Holland to Camp de Tarragona

The arrival of the Dutch traders Juan Kies and Arnoldo de Jäger in Catalonia should be perceived in the context of changes that had been initiated in trade relations between Holland and the Spanish monarchy, which resulted from the Peace of Münster treaty, and the economic recovery that began in Catalo nia in the mid-17th century. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the com mercial activities and social relations of the Kies family, who first lived in Barcelona and then decided to move to Camp de Tarragona and buy a castle in Vila-seca, which they converted into their residence and production centre and where, later, their descendants continued living.
