The Spanish nobility, unlike their
European counterparts, was based almost entirely on military service. Very few
eminent families came from medicine, law, commerce or the church. The great
families of Spain fought their way to their rank. But the descendants of Spanish
arms and titles differ from their European counterparts, in that they can
be inherited through females. Also, illegitimacy is no bar to descendants of
arms and titles. The great Spanish families believed that a family pedigree
could be more damaged by misalliance then by illegitmacy
