The Songs of the Lineages of Valencia is a seventeenth-century compendium of information about one hundred families participating in the thirteenth-century Christian conquest of the Kingdom of Valencia. A treatise on nobility with monochrome illustrations of heraldic devices is followed by histories of one hundred families. Each family’s lineage is traced in eleven verses headed by the familial coat of arms. The text purports to date from the thirteenth century but may in fact be a seventeenth-century forgery.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
