Meaning of the concept of Nobility in European history (re edited) / Significado del concepto de Nobleza en la historia de Europa (re editado)

El concepto occidental de nobleza proviene de dos culturas , la Romana y la Germánica.

La de Roma está realcionada con los conceptos de conocido y de famoso, aquellos cuyas efigies eran exhibidas por sus sucesores en el patio principal de sus casas (atrium), los dioses manes de cada familia, eso es sus antepasados famosos, los que protegían el hogar junto a los dioses lares, que se ubicaban en el lararia ubicado próximo a la entrada al patio. Pero la verdadera clase noble en el sentido estamentarioque la palabra luego adquirió. Era el Orden Senatorial integrado inicialmente solo por los patricios, es decir aquellos que perteneciían a las gens fundadoras de Roma, a quienes se incorporaron gradualmente senadores no patricios. Había también dos grados de nobleza menor, el Orden Equestre, y una nobleza menor provincial que algunos historiadorws y genealogistas llaman nobleza Decurional, aquella de las asambleas decurionales que gobernaban las ciudades y sus territorios a semejanza del Senado.

Occidental concept of nobility comes from two cultures, Roman and Germanic.

That from Rome is related with concepts of known and of famous, those whose effigies were shown by their succesors in there houses main patio (atrium), gods “manes” of each family, that’s their famous ancestors, who protected their homes together with the gods lares. But the real noble class in the estamentary sense that after the word acquired, was Senatorial Order integrated initially only by the “patricians”, those who belong to the foundators gens, to whom were gradually incorporated non patrician senators. There were also two degrees of minor nobility, the Equestrial Order(knights), and a lower provincial nobility that is called by some historians and genealogist as decurional nobility, that of the decurional assemblies that ruled the cities and their territories in ressemblance to the roman senate .

El germánico es un principio totalmente diferente, originado en un pueblo entonces no urbanizado, que no fundaba ciudades, y se deriva del ejercicio de la guerra, cuyos jefes guerreros conformaban la clase noble (edelinge), establecidos al asentarse en la Europa continental como linajes de reyezuelos no hereditarios sino electivos (práctica que conservaría el S.R.I. para los Emperadores). Esta clase de edelinges inicial casi no sobrevivió al fin de la época bárbara.

Germanic concept is completely different, origined in not urbanized people, who didn’t founded towns, and was a derivation of the practice of war, whose warrior chiefs integrated the noble class (edelinge), stablished when they settled in continental Europe as dinasties of little kings, non hereditaries but electives (a practice that will survive in the election of S.R.I. Emperors). This initial class of edelinges didn`t survive the end of the Barbarian times.

Tanto los órdenes Senatorial y Decurional, como los Edelingen fueron gradualmente sustituidos por una nueva nobleza surgida de la riqueza y su consiguiente poder, y del servicio a las nuevas monarquías, que se fue afianzando gradualmente en la Alta Edad Media, consolidándose recién hacia el S.XII. De allí que pocas familias nobles puedan relacionar su genealogía más atrás de estos tiempos, salvo que entronquen con los antiguos linajes francos de Merovingios y Carolingios, alemanes de los Welf o Liudolfing, nórdicos de los Ybling o Skioldung, de las Islas británicas de la casa de Cerdic, hispánicas descendientes de los visigodos, unas pocas descendientes del Orden Senatorial del Imperio romano y algunas otras.

Ninguno de los dos estaba inicialmente ligado necesariamente a la posesión de derechos sobre tierras (en una época hasta sobre las personas) cosa que después caracterizaría a la misma (en una época hasta de personas).

Both Senatorial and Decurional orders and Edelingen were gradually substitued by a new nobility grown of the richness and its power, and of the service to the new monarchies, established in the High Middle Ages, about S. XII. Thus, a few noble families can relate their genealogy back through this times, except those that links to the ancient french lineages of Merovingians and Carolingians, german of the Welf or the Liudolfing, northern of Ybling or the Skioldung, of the British Islands from the House of Cerdic, spanish descendant from the Visigoths, a few descendant of the Senatorial Order of the Roman Empire and some others.

Neither Senatorial order or Edelingen was jointed initially with the possession of rights over lands (in some times even over people), a fact that will after characterize them .

Por supuesto que esta es una esquematización de un proceso que llevó más de un milenio hasta consolidarse en la época feudal, con muchas variantes en las diversas naciones de Europa. El feudalismo presentó una enorme diferencia en las regiones más romanizadas, donde persistieron grandes propietarios cuyas heredades se convirtieron en alodios (propiedades libres de carga feudal), quienes después en general se integraron a la nobleza feudal propiamente dicha. Esta recibía de un señor un feudo, en general determinado territorio, aunque podía ser simplemente la renta del mismo, o el monopolio de la pesca o de la caza, etc., a cambio del homenaje que establecía diversas obligaciones a cambio. Entre las principales estaban la ayuda militar y la obligación de administrar la justicia. La función militar adquirió tal importancia en la bastante anárquica Edad Media, que el grado más bajo de la nobleza lo conformaban las personas que podían armarse, es decir pagar su equipamiento para la guerra, cosa que gradualmente se fue cambiando por contribuciones en dinero para la misma. En cualquier caso estas personas eran vasallos, a diferencia de los siervos que no gozaban de ninguna libertad. Así el simple hecho de ser libre, situación que hoy afortunadamente goza, al menos jurídicamente, toda persona en el mundo occidental, llegó a constituir una forma de nobleza. Aunque en realidad era la doble situación de propietario y libre la que establecía la condición de integrante de estos cuadros, como la “gentry” inglesa y la “gentilitá” trentina por ej.

Of course that this is a schematization of a process that took more than a millenium until consolidated in the feudal era, with many variants in the diverse nations of Europe. Feudalism presented a huge difference in the mpst romanized regions, where persisted big landowners whose inheritances became allodium (properties free  of the feudal charge), whom after generally became integrated to the proper feudal nobility. This one received of a Lord a fief, generally a determined territorial area, though it may only be the rent of that, or the monopolic right to the fishing, or hunting, etc., in change to the hommage that established many obligations in change. Between the main ones was the military collaboration and the obligation of administrate justice. The military function acquired such preminence in the quite anarchic Middle Ages, that the lowest degree of nobility was conformed by those who can arm themselves, that is to pay their equipment for war, what with the times was being changed for contributions in money.  In any case, those persons where vassals, unlike the serfs thet hadn't any kind of freedom. And so the simple fact of being free, situation that fortunely today have, at least juridically, all people in occidental world, turned to be a form of nobility. Though in reality was the doble condition of landowner and free that established the condition to be part of these groups, as the english gentry or the trentine gentilità. 

En el fondo, pese a la importancia de lo estamentario, el poder económico es y ha sido muy importante en la elevación a la nobleza, incluso a la más alta, y allí está para probarlo la historia de los Fugger o los Rothschild, e incluso la de los Médicis (quienes en la propia Florencia eran de nobleza menor frente a otras familias, algunas de las cuales tenían troncos en la nobleza lombarda, como los Buondelmonti o hasta reclamaban un origen romano, como los Alighieri).

Para validar su preminencia en un sentido estamentario, los nobles desde siempre han recurrido a la genealogía, para que los proveyera de prestigiosos ancestros (dioses manes) a veces reales y otras inventados. La época posterior al renacimiento puso de moda las genealogías que intentaban enlazar con personajes míticos como el Rey Troilo, hijo de Príamo (caso de los Trelles asturianos, de la aldea de Trelles en la Asturias occidental, lugar de origen de mis antepasados), o hasta semidioses como Hércules.

Ultimately, despite the importance of the estamentary, economic power is and have been very important in the elevation to to nobility, even to the highest one, and there is to prove it the story of the Fugger or of the Rothschild, even of the Médicis (whom in Florence where of lower origins comparing with other families, some of whom had roots in lombard nobility as the Buondelmonti and others who even claimed roman origins as the Alighieri.

To validate their preminence in an estamentary sense, nobles have always appelaed to genealogy, to provide them of prestigious ancestors (manes gods), some times reals and others invented. In the era after the Renaissance were in vogue the tempt to laze with mythical characters, as King Troilus , a son of  Priamus (in the case of the asturian Trelles, from the hamlet of Trelles in Occidental Asturias), or even demigods as Hercules.

Más allá de todas estas apreciaciones fundadas, el hecho es que en toda sociedad existen personas , familias y grupos que se destacan, “aristocracias” en sentido amplio, que no tienen por que mantener los preceptos de milenios atrás.

¿Es acaso más noble un hijo de un oscuro noble menor provinciano de Europa que Bill Gates por ejemplo?. En el strictu sensu de la nobleza "de sangre" seguramente sí, pero si U.S.A. no fuera una república sino una monarquía, el Señor de Microsoft sería como mínimo un Barón, obteniéndolo por su poder económico como lo hicieran los Rotschild, y si se dedicara también a la política seguramente un Marqués o un Duque, como mi pariente el Gral. Don Juan Prim hace una centuria y media, o como el Primer Ministro Adolfo Suárez hace pocas décadas. Se conoce sin embargo el tiempo que le tomó a la Reina Elizabeth II de Gran Bretaña nombrarlo a Paul Mc Cartney como Sir, siendo que seguramente hay pocos ciudadanos más “conocidos” y más “famosos” en la isla? Y que además ha sido, creo, respetable hasta en un sentido victoriano de la palabra... Pero es claro que la Reina viene de un mundo muy estructurado por antiguas costumbres donde siempre es más respetable un banquero que un compositor e intérprete de música pop.

Beyond all these apreciations, the fact is that in all societies exist persons, families and groups that stand out, “aristocracies” in a wide sense, that doesn´t have to keep precepts of passed milenies. Is more noble the son of an obscure provintial noble than Bill Gates as an example? In the strictu senso of the nobility “of blood” certainly yes, but if USA weren't a republic but a monarchy, the Lord of Microsoft would be a Baron as minimun, obtaining that cause of he's economical poweras once the Rothschild did, and if he dedicated also to politics, certainly a Marquis or a Duke, as my relative Don Juan Prim at the middle XIX c or Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez some decades ago. On the other hand is well known the time that took Queen Elizabeth II of Gr. Britain to appoint Paul Mc Cartney as a Sir, being one of the most known and famous citizens of the British Islands. And even being him respectable even in a victorian meaning of the word... But the Queen still represents a world structured by ancient uses, were is always more respectable a politic or a banker than a composer and player of pop music.

The conversion and marriage of a jew in XVIIth century, at the village of Strigno, in the trentine Valsugana

Searching for my roots at the village of Strigno, of the names of my direct ancestors, Boninsegna and Barezotto or Barizzotti, but also of all their relatives, as the noble Lords of Strigno, the Castelrotto, and many other relevant families of the region, under the jurisdiction of Castle Ivano, many times related in the times to my familiar ancestry history, I found this peculiar documents at the parish church archives microfilmed by the mormon church, reading them in one of the hundreds of Family Centers all around the world....

As a Domino Giovanni Paolo Alpruni called Bressanini married a Domina Margarita Bertagnoni, a far relative through the Barezzotto family, as a descendant of Nob. Dr. Roberto Barezzoto, Doctor in Law, I searched documents about Bressanini family...

I found Bressaninis were not originally from Strigno,  descendants of an inhabitant, Domino Paulo Bressanini, the "speciaro" of Strigno (in those times a government concession), that married a lady Spadoletto from Strigno. Their daughter Orsola is the one who married a converse jew from Padua named Alpruni.

So we found in the Church book of marriages, at the date of august 24 of 1680 the act of the marriage, in latin, of "Carolus  Petrus Gaudentius Alpruni Pattavinus judey.. ani prdo. ante baptezato" with "Ursula q. D. Pauli Bressanini Strigni" (q. is the abreviature for quondam and D. for Domino)
what means: "Carlo Pietro Gaudenzio Gardumi from Padova jew baptized before on the year up indicated" , and "Orsola daughter of the deceased Sir Paolo Bressanini of Strigno"

At the index of the Book of marriages it's said, in italian "Alpruni, Carlo - judeo- che poco prima fu battezato, ai 24 Agosto 1680 si sposo con Orsola Bressanini" (Alpruni, Carlo - jew- that shortly before was baptized... etc.)

We found that previous baptism with the date of june 30 of 1680 telling us the following in italian, full of abreviatures, as was styled :

Adi 30 giugno 1680

Hebreo fatto christiano                                                                      Calimán nato hebreo

"Carlo Pietro Gaudenzio Alprun nato hebreo est nome di Caliman Padoano doppo haber servizio in casa delli hebrei qui di Strigno cualque tempo...."

and after some other text, where is mentioned "adorata la judaica perfidia" a clear proof of the religious intolerance of those times, came the name of the illustrious godparents:

"fu levato del S. Fonte dall'Illmo. Sigr. Pietro Gasparo Buffa di Scurelle (missed) del Sermo. Duca di Lorena, Gobernator di S. Maesta  Cesarea Leopoldo Pro. del Austria
Matrina fu la Molte. Illre. et Clarma. Sigra, Orsola C. Rotto moglie del Molt'. Illre et Clarmo. Sigre. Dr. Gio. Battista C. Rotto Fiscale Cesareo alli Confini di Italia."


We can translate that as:

On june 30, 1680

Hebrew done christian                                                                         Caliman born hebrew

"C.P. G.A.  born hebrew with the name of Caliman from Padova, after being on service in the house of the hebrew here in Strigno... ..."adored the jewish perfidy"

"was taken to the baptismal font by the Illustrious Sigr Pietro Gasparo Buffa ..... of the Serene Duke of Lorena, Gobernor of his Imperial Majesty Leopold I of Austria
The godmother was the Very Illustrious and Brilliant Lady Orsola Castelrotto wife of the Very Illustrious and Brilliant Doctor Sir Giovanni Battista Castelrotto, Imperial Prosecutor at the Frontiers of Italy"

Notes 
Pietro Gasparo Buffa was Imperial noble as indicates the treatment of Illustrious, he was the Baron of Castellalto, and Gobernor of the jurisdiction. His complete official name was Barone Pietro Gasparo Buffa di Haiden, Monte Giglio e Castellalto, or Freiherr Peter Caspar von Haiden, Lilienberg und Castellalto, in german.

Doctor in Law, Sir Giovanni Battista Castelrotto was of a rancid lineage of that family, being descendant also of family Filippini von Thun and her wife so, being descendant also of the Roccabruna family.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we can see marriages between jews and christians were admitted after a conversion, and seems to be at that times were no major prejudices in that region at least... 

The descendance of the marriage Alpruni Bressanini took after the name Bressanini,  and linked again with some other relatives of mine, as Nob. Silvestro de Castelrotto (descendant of the Barezzoto family) of the branch of that family that were the hereditary "regolanos" of Strigno, a charge in other communities was elective.
