Abstract

The infantes of Granada, don Juan and don Fernando –sons of Muley Hacen and his wife, the Christian convert to Islam Zoraya (Isabel de Solís)– had the protection of the Catholic Monarchs and managed to become related to the Castilian elites. Converted to Christianity, they exercised their patronage over the main chapel of the Hieronymite monastery of Nuestra Señora de Prado in Valladolid, which became the family's pantheon. This text provides new data about the actions that the Granada undertook throughout the sixteenth century to endow and beautify the eternal resting place of their bodies in what was not just a simple burial, but the projection of their integration into noble society.
