]]> This genealogy reconstructs the Fernández de Moratín family from their arrival in Madrid from the Lugar de Moratín (Asturias) until the Napoleonic invasion. The silversmith’s work was strongly linked to the surname from the time of their establishment at the Madrid court, and they even became part of the guardhouse of Queen Isabella of Farnese. Subsequently, and in the heat of the socio-political transformations that characterised Spain between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, the family strategies were oriented towards the relationship with intellectual and administrative sectors of the capital, with prominent figures such as the writer Leandro Fernández de Moratín and the politician Gumersindo Fernández de Moratín, cousin of the former, among others.
