- Abstract
The Valencian branch of the Castellví family, which was started in the early five hundreds by the Lord of Puchol, took part in a significant asset accumulation process during the seventeenth century. At the root of it lie the acquisitions carried out by the successive heads of the household. However, the marital strategy of the lineage holders, the reduced number of descendants and the reversion to the main bloodline of the bequests from those members of the family who did not get married or died without descendants, proved to be just as important. In contrast, the combination of several factors resulted in a mounting debt. It was particularly pronounced since the 1670s, when inheritance and debts came together to constitute an unbreakable bond. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the details of this double process and its impact to the Household.
