Description
Summary:This article reconstructs narratives connected to the Moctezuma family in Venezuela during the seventeenth century and part of the eighteenth. Their presence in regional history, in the country’s founding myth and in everyday life are addressed through the memory of the family itself, in the discursive contributions of early-twentieth-century chroniclers and by following the family’s history through the enconmienda, land and notary archives. This article thus offers a threefold perspective on the study of the Moctezuma family and its presence in the province of Venezuela during this period.
