Portrait of a young nobleman: a Knight of the Order of Calatrava

This monograph is the result of a research project begun in 2013 which would have been impossible without the
generous support of colleagues and friends. Of these, I would like to pay special thanks to the team at the Norton Simon Museum (Thomas Norris, Curatorial Associate, Regina Noto, Academic Intern, and Jacqueline M. Chambers, Manager of Rights, Imaging & Curatorial Affairs); Francisco Fernández Izquierdo, researcher and scholar on the Order of Calatrava and Head of the Department of Modern and Contemporary History at the Instituto de Historia of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas-CSIC; Cristina Pinto Basto, Coordinator of the Royal Library of Ajuda; Gérald Monpas (département des recherches historiques) and Vincent Tuchais (département des services aux usagers) at the Archives de Paris; and Laurence Mille, Head of Drouot Documentation.
