I am a historian and Member of the Royal Historical Society (RHS) of the United Kingdom, specializing in genealogy, heraldry, cultural heritage, and the visual representation of power in early modern Europe. My research focuses on court portraiture as a symbolic instrument of dynastic authority, with particular attention to its diplomatic, ceremonial, and narrative functions within the Spanish Monarchy.
I hold a Diploma in Heraldry, Genealogy, and Nobiliary Sciences from the Escuela Marqués de Avilés (in collaboration with the Spanish National Research Council, CSIC), and a BA (Hons) in History and Cultural Heritage from the University of Burgos, where I also completed the university programme in Art Market and Introduction to Art Collecting.
My methodological approach integrates social history, visual analysis, and archival research. This perspective informs my studies on the circulation of royal imagery across European courts, the semantics of power, and curatorial interpretation. I explore portraiture as a narrative space where memory, identity, and representation converge.
My publications are indexed in platforms such as SSRN, WorldCat, Dialnet, and Open Library, and my books are available through Amazon. My written work includes specialized articles on genealogy, heraldry, and visual culture, as well as contributions to collective volumes on dynastic representation, the social history of lineage, and the symbolic analysis of visual and documentary sources.
