Dear Colleagues,

I am currently preparing two new books. While they are more concise than De Nobleza Inmemorial, I believe they will be equally engaging.

The first work focuses on my Palomar lineage from Aragón. In this volume, I trace several lines further back and examine the legal mechanisms surrounding the legitimation of natural children (born out of wedlock) under the Aragonese fueros, contrasting them with Castilian practice.

The second work, titled "Con luna vencí: Los Villaseñor, Orozco y Beltrán de Guzmán. Archivos, probanzas y la verdad documental," explores the origins of the Villaseñor, Orozco and Guzmán family. Over the past several years, I have recovered copies of multiple last wills, nobility proofs, and notarial protocols in Spain to correct several mistaken lines of those families, including that of Pedro Hernández de Aguilera and his wife Beatriz de Orozco. 

This volume will also detail:

• The precise blood relationship connecting the Orozco of Michoacán to the conquistador Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán.
• The last will of the mother of Aldonza Gutiérrez de Tapia, sourced from the Archivo de Cuenca.
• Documentary proof that Elvira de Tovar is not a daughter of the señores de Berlanga, a line that, as many sharp minds among you have long suspected, is entirely incorrect and largely forced by descendants and genealogists.

Best regards,

Erik Andrés Reynoso y Márquez
