Abstract
En este trabajo se analiza la trayectoria secular de varias familias de marineros y pilotos portugueses afincados en Triana en el siglo XVI, y sus estrategias matrimoniales conducentes a la reproducción del capital humano y económico en el que se sustentaba el éxito familiar, así como a sus diversos modos de integración en la sociedad sevillana. Se ofrece una visión secular de la evolución de dichas estrategias de crecimiento e integración, en las que se produce una progresiva evolución por la que los oficios del mar van dejando paso paulatinamente a actividades mercantiles y de especulación con juros y bienes inmuebles, para acabar abandonándose la marinería en cuartas y quintas generaciones, transformándose así una vocación profesional secular que había caracterizado fuertemente a un segmento de la población portuguesa del Quinientos en la ciudad de Sevilla, en un proceso histórico y social común a otras familias y sectores profesionales en el resto de la monarquía.
In this paper the author analyses the career of several families of portuguese sailors and pilots who settled down in Triana quarter during the 16th century, and their matrimonial strategies focused on the reproduction of the human and economic capital which based their social success, and their different ways to integrate in the sevillian society. The author shows the secular evolution of those strategies of social and familiar growing and integration, where we can notice a slow evolution by which the maritime professions were becoming less important comparing to mercantile and speculative activities (with real estate or annuities), which led to the fourth and fifth generations to neglect the maritime professions, which had been one of the main features of an important part of the portuguese population in the 16th century Seville. This was an historical and social process common to other families and professional sectors in the Spanish Monarchy.
