| Sumario: | The paper discusses the historiographical approach to Spanish theorists of history as intellectuals who remained indifferent to their times, focusing instead on philosophical and literary issues. On the contrary, through the analysis of Luis Cabrera de Córdoba’s historical works, it will be showed that Spanish theorists of history, as members of the court and royal employees, not only became extremely involved in current political debates, but also understood history as an essential tool to legitimate Monarchical state. In addition, we will explain the characteristics of this new kind of history, political and pragmatic, as the result of a complex peculiar appropriation process of different traditions by the Spanish authors. |
