- Abstract
This research analyses a previously unknown facet of Francisco de Paula Romero Robledo, one of the most significant figures in Spanish national politics during the second half of the 19th and the early 20th century. In reference to how he forged his patrimony, assisted by family connections, clientelism and friendships. The process of formation of his patrimony was as follows: 1) Inheritances received; 2) His marriage to Josefa Zulueta Samá, daughter of Julián Zulueta y Amondo, slave trader and sugar producer in Cuba; 3) Purchases of rural and urban properties; and 4) Participation in companies with very diverse activities, notably the Antequera Sugar Company, which he founded in 1890. There is also confirmation of his interest in administering his patrimony. This study is based on unpublished documents, preserved in the History Archives of Antequera and the Notarial Protocol Archives of Madrid.
