Here you will find the Biographies and History conferences that we held in collaboration with Carmen Iglesias, the Royal Academy of History and the Cultural Foundation of the Spanish Nobility.

In the 2024 cycle, “the arrival of Modernity” was studied through a series of conferences focused on the figure of Cardinal Cisneros, in his roles as cardinal and archbishop of Toledo, inquisitor general, patron and political regent. Through their eyes we will witness the significant changes that took place in Spain at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.

On our Youtube channel you can see the conferences held in the following years:

• 2020: The first globalization. America and the oceans. Adventure and science routes (from the 16th to the 18th century).
  
• 2021: America and the oceans. Century XVIII. This cycle continues studying the importance that America had in the commercial, political and strategic relations of the time.
• 2022, which addressed the topic: “America, Spain and independence: 200 years of a complex process.” Carmen Iglesias and other historians revisit and interpret these events in the light of new contributions, coinciding with the bicentennial of the independence of several Ibero-American nations.
• 2023: “A crown of letters: books and authors of the Hispanic Monarchy.” Carmen Iglesias and other historians focus on the importance that writers, printers and grammarians played in that first globalization, achieving the elevation of Spanish to an international language both in the political-administrative and cultural spheres.
