Marriage relations between different families obeyed reproduction strategies based on the concentration and accumulation of patrimony. Among the nobility, it was common to carry out similar operations in search of material benefit. The town of Alcaraz was no stranger to these mentalities and two of its most important families, the Corro Bustamante and the Auñón, joined together. This union came about through a double marriage: two sons and two daughters forged matrimonial bonds that would bear fruit 13 years later when one of them, Juan Manuel, monopolised most of the properties when his brother died without offspring. Juan Manuel also inherited from his mother-in-law all the bonds and free property that she had at her disposal. In this way the patrimony and status of both families was perpetuated, even more so in the accumulation by one of the sons.
