This article deals with the political uses of historical writing at the viceregal court of Pedro Antonio de Aragón (1666-1672) in Naples. There are three main issues: the project of reinforcing the government of Mariana de Austria from the reign of Naples and the reconstruction of the recent history of the viceroyalty; the recovery of the memory of king Alfonso of Aragón by political means; and thirdly, the building of a family memory. The Papal decision of sending a governor to rule Naples in 1666 or the French invasion of Brabant in 1667 were important incentives for the viceroys to start reflecting on History in a new way.
