Requesens family papers, 1336-1860.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/690901217

Collection of documents concerning the Requesens, a family of Spanish origin who lived in Sicily and Naples. Over the centuries, the Requesens remained strong supporters of the Spanish crown, from whom they received numerous privileges and grants. About half of the items contained in the Requesens family papers pertain to these privileges, the most important being the concession of the island of Pantelleria, as well as territories in the areas of Syracuse, Marsala, and Palermo. The Requesens were also in charge of collecting taxes and customs fees in numerous locations of the Kingdom of Naples on behalf of the Spanish crown. Moreover, the Requesens were politically and military active during the Neapolitan Wars in support of the Spanish coalition. This long standing connection with the Spanish crown is emphasized in many documents, including personal and official correspondence, legal and notarial papers, petitions, and accounts. The Requesens also had connections, mostly through marriage, with other southern Italian aristocrats, such as the Naselli, the Morso, the Alliata, the Bonanni, the Fuentes, the Carretto, and the Branciforte. These relationships are chronicled in a small number of documents covering the genealogical history of the family over the centuries. Letters between family members and friends and relatives all over Italy (Sicily, Naples, Genoa, Venice, Milan, and Turin) and France and Spain are also present. Various stamps, perhaps indicating the payment of the customary governmental stamp tax to issue official documents, appear on numerous items; they are the same as or similar to stamps on other documents in the Villafiorita Ducal Records.
