Abstract

RESUMO Entre 1750 e 1807, 259 súditos ultramarinos da monarquia portuguesa recorreram à justificação de nobreza para receber brasões de armas. Ao analisar o acervo, o artigo empregou o método quantitativo para traçar o perfil social sobretudo das elites luso-brasileiras e assim constatou que os oficiais das tropas auxiliares e das ordenanças era a categoria social mais predominante. O estudo ainda detectou que as antigas elites eram pouco representativas na Bahia e Rio de Janeiro e muito presentes em Pernambuco e Maranhão.ABSTRACT Between 1750 and 1807, 259 overseas subjects of the Portuguese monarchy used the justification of nobility process to receive coats of arms. This article uses quantitative methods to analyze their petitions and trace their social profile, especially of the Luso-Brazilian elites, noting that the new elites, particularly the officers of the militia, were the predominant social category. The study also found that the old elites were hardly representative in Bahia and Rio de Janeiro and very present in Pernambuco and Maranhão.
