A doctoral thesis carried out at the University of Murcia (UMU) by Pablo Ortega del Cerro, who has obtained the grade of outstanding cum laude, has made a study of social history of the officers of the Armada of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
To analyze the issue, the normative and legal development, the social origins, the professional career, the institutional control, the family life and the circles of sociability were addressed.
The conclusions of this research work highlight the strong professionalization of this official in the eighteenth century and its bureaucratization in the nineteenth, as well as the strong development of family ties and the importance of the couple in the eight hundred.
It also highlights the first public pension system for widows and orphans - the Military Montepío - and the importance of the economic investments of this body in sectors such as commerce, industry or banking.
The doctoral thesis was directed by the professor of the UMU Juan Hernández Franco and the professor of the University of Urbino (Italy) Raffaella Sarti.
