Andalusia until the second half of the 17th century &#8211; it derives from &#8220;maestro&#8221;, a teacher of the art of combat horse-riding in the Arab-Andalusian style. By that time Ronda\u2019s maestranza had already existed under a different name for two hundred years. The maestranzas of Seville, Granada and Valencia were founded in the last third of the XVII century and Zaragoza in 1819. A missive from Philip II to the leading citizens of Ronda dated September 6, 1572, suggested that they organize a local mounted militia. This was royal encouragement of an existing practice. For example, the nobility of Ronda had already set up a fighting force that intervened in 1569 in the war against the Moors.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aca1d95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aca1d95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The missive from Philip II, founding document of the Real Maestranza, proposed that &#8220;in the cities, towns and places of these Kingdoms, the knights and leading men of quality found and institute among themselves some Brotherhoods, Companies or Orders, dedicated to a Saint, with such Ordinances, conditions and chapters that establish, among other things, the celebration on certain days of festivities, jousts, tournaments and games of reeds and other military exercises.\u201d The King made clear that all these activities were a serious part of training for mounted combat. These exercises or \u201cgames\u201d included the spearing or lancing of fighting bulls from horseback \u2013 thus both rider and horse acquired skills in combat manoeuvres \u2013 and the showmanship involved began to attract spectators. On Tuesday, September 22, 1572 the corregidor, members of the city council and other leading citizens assembled in the town hall where Philip II&#8217;s request was read out loud. There followed the customary ritual whereby each of those present took off his hat, took the monarch&#8217;s letter in his hands, kissed it and placed it on his head as a sign of compliance. It was agreed that all the gentlemen (owners of horses) not present should be notified and then, as a first step, an area of land was cleared around the Plaza del Pozo, suitable for exercising and parading horses. A lance was acquired and horse bells so that on designated festive days all the horses and riders that so wished could participate.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6683974 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6683974\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2f718b8\" data-id=\"2f718b8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2840e1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2840e1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/historia-hoja-1.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Historia Hoja 1\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-14cc3f4\" data-id=\"14cc3f4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40d57dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"40d57dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"545\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/historia-hoja-2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2123\" alt=\"Historia Hoja 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/historia-hoja-2-1.jpg 545w, https:\/\/www.rmcr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/historia-hoja-2-1-217x300.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9e2f0f9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9e2f0f9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-004fa31\" data-id=\"004fa31\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ba9a45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9ba9a45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A year after the King\u2019s wishes had been read out in the town hall, the Confraternity of the Holy Spirit was duly founded with the specific ordinance of celebrating equestrian events &#8220;on the second day of Pentecost, on the feasts of San Juan and of San Pedro, at Shrovetide and on the feast of the Resurrection, and every Thursday when the young horsemen shall ride in the Plaza del Pozo, having Our Lady of Grace as their patron saint\u201d.<br \/>A few years later, in 1575, Philip II sends further instructions to the loyal brotherhood in Ronda, encouraging them to take pains to breed &#8220;good horses for the guard and defence of the Kingdom&#8221;.
