About
Ducal House of Medinaceli is a cultural-technical portal dedicated to preserving and disseminating the rich historical heritage of the Ducal House of Medinaceli: its origin, history, transformations and prestige.
About the Project
This project uses modern technologies to ingest, enrich, and present historical information from open sources such as Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Europeana. Our goal is to create an accessible and comprehensive platform that allows exploring the history, genealogy, cultural heritage, and places related to the Ducal House of Medinaceli, one of the oldest and most prestigious noble lineages in Spain, with origins dating back to the lineage of the House of la Cerda, descendant of the first heir of King Alfonso X the Wise.
Our Mission
To preserve and disseminate the historical legacy of the Ducal House of Medinaceli, from its origins as counts in 1368 to its evolution as a duchy in 1479 and its distinction with Grandeur of Spain in 1520. Facilitate access to quality historical information about this lineage that has maintained its position throughout the centuries, adapting to dynastic, political and social changes, and that has accumulated vast patrimonies, lordships and titles through alliances with other noble houses.
