The Sentmenats were one of the most important feudatories of the Moncadas, who entrusted them with the castle of Sentmenat Castle, in the Vall\u00e8s. One of the prominent families of Medieval and Modern Lower Catalonia. We find Sentmenat nuns in the monastery since the 13th century. Specifically, Ms. Francesca was the daughter of Manuel de Sentmenat i de Lanuza, first marquis of Castelldosrius – military governor of Tarragona, lieutenant general in the kingdom of Mallorca and viceroy of Peru, ambassador to France in 1700 – and his wife Joana d’Oms i d’Oms. His family took a clear position on the Bourbon side during the War of Succession (1704-1714), highlighting his brother Joan Manuel Sentmenat i d’Oms as lieutenant captain general of Peru and governor general of the presidio of El Callao (1707-08) and he died as field marshal of the army of the infant Felipe in Gap (Delfinat) during the Savoy campaign. Her older sister Teresa had already professed as a nun in the same monastery in 1699. The letters of profession show the ancestry of the women who lived in this female monastery, families embedded in the political, economic and military power of the territory that participated in the political strategies that shaped modern Europe and that have reached us today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14098,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"eix":[],"class_list":["post-12380","document","type-document","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
