Abstract
The reign of the Catholic Kings, with the introduction of the first laws on blood purity, brought about a political change with regard to converts – something that had ramifications in terms of the medical professions, which were traditionally exercised by Jews and converts. It is within this context that the figure of Dr. Pedro de Colina is studied, a physician for the Spanish Royal House and for Cardinal Mendoza, as well as a professor at the University of Valladolid. Originally from Quintanapalla, located in the Alfoz de Burgos region of the Burgos Province, and a resident of Valladolid, Dr. Colina's social type differed from the norm for his profession: he was an old Christian and –even– originally a “hidalgo,” or Spanish nobleman. With the acquisition of a chapel and the founding of a chaplaincy and its patronage, he aimed to insert his bloodline into the common nobility
