Los almacenes de la corte y la provisión del vestuario del ejército de Felipe V durante la Guerra de Sucesión
The warehouses of the court and the provision of wardrobe for the army of Philip V during the War of Spanish Succession
Abstract
We analyze the details of the provision of wardrobe to the Bourbon army during the War of Succession to the Spanish Crown found in the documentary series of the Tesorería Mayor de la Guerra (AGS). We include a first heading to link it to the consolidation of said treasury and to know the most commonly used ways of contracting supplies. Our subsequent analysis allows us to show that traditional historiography has been permanently biased towards the study of clothing purchases in France, ignoring a supply dependent on national production that actually existed and was in fact managed from royal warehouses arranged since 1704 at the court of Madrid.
Analizamos los detalles de la provisión del vestuario al ejército borbónico durante la Guerra de Sucesión a la corona española hallados en la serie documental de la Tesorería Mayor de la Guerra (AGS). Incluimos un primer epígrafe para vincularlo a la consolidación de dicha tesorería y para conocer las formas de contratación del vestuario más comúnmente utilizadas. Nuestro posterior análisis nos permite demostrar que la historiografía tradicional ha estado permanentemente sesgada hacia el estudio de las compras de vestuario en Francia, obviando un suministro dependiente de la producción nacional que efectivamente existió y fue de hecho gestionado desde unos almacenes reales dispuestos desde 1704 en la corte de Madrid.
