In the first part of this paper I will point out the popularity enjoyed by the genealogical legend related to the family of the Tellos de Meneses through a compilation of references to performances of plays based on it. The article then focuses on the theatrical duology written by Lope de Vega on the origins of this family: Los Tellos de Meneses and Valor, fortuna y lealtad (the second part of Los Tellos de Meneses). I will analyze two fundamental elements: on the one hand, the use of sources by the playwright, maybe in an attempt to improve the family’s image; on the other hand, I will analyze the place that these two plays centered on celebrating a genealogy occupy in relation to the development of the ideal of the honorable peasant.
