Abstract

In this article we analyse briefly the genesis of the building up of glory and social distinction of oligarchy through the material sources, which was called «material and symbolic culture» by historiography and constituted a constant feature of old lineages belonging to nobilty. From the point of view of such culture, a lineage memory was constructed , which belonged to the main surnames and lineages that fought against muslims of nazari Kingdom of Granada during the last period of the Reconquest. In that way, around the mythical figure of the founder of the lineage, who was the first member settled in the Kingdom, the bases of his power and social prestige began to be installed, lasting throughout consecutive generations. Based upon important historical sources such as chronicles, memorials, genealogies and the heraldry, we introduce briefly, through the example of Riquelme lineage, how the family, using such material elements, perpetuated his memory and «lineage self-awareness» in order to consolidate their social status within the oligarchy
