The archives of the Cardinal: Juan Pardo Tavera and his Sevillian documentary collection
Abstract
The figure of Cardinal Juan Pardo Tavera (1472-1545), main counsellor of the Emperor Carlos V, is related to a large documentary fund which is currently distributed among the great Spanish Archives. The Cardinal himself created three patrimonial archives: one involving his initial estates in the kingdom of Seville, which is our concern in this work, the family archive for the Marquises of Malagón and a third one for the Hospital of Saint John the Baptist, which he founded in Toledo.
Juan Tavera acquired an important patrimony during the first stage of his ecclesiastical career in the kingdom of Seville, consisting mainly of land property. In this work, we will describe the archives for this initial period and will also study their organization and contents. This documentary fund ended up in the Ducal Archive of Medinaceli, where it is currently labelled as section «Partido de Sevilla».
