]]> The text discusses the importance of the surname for noble families in the 17th and 18th century. The fragment shown below refers to a primary source by which Cristóbal Rocamora y Molins, a resident of Orihuela, initiated a lawsuit against Antonia de Heredia y Rocamora, eighth Marquise of Rafal. The lawsuit, initiated in 1772, was based on a clause of the foundation of the entailed estate of Rafal in 1638. In it we can see how the founder emphasised the importance of the surname, thus giving priority to the male over the female; if the successor was a woman, she was destined to marry a husband whose surname was Rocamora, thus ensuring that the entailed estate was linked to her lineage in perpetuity. The result of the lawsuit was that Antonia de Heredia lost the right to possession of the entailed estate when she refused to marry a relative of hers who bore the aforementioned surname.
