This work recalls some of the documents ¿ papers and letters ¿ written by the second Marquis of Velada, Gómez Dávila y Toledo, throughout his life in king Philip II¿s court. This personal documentation is a very interesting way to get to know court life at the end of the sixteenth Century. Together with requests and complaints, we find political reflections, anecdotes or reports on court intrigue, reports which enrich our knowledge of the semi-private (almost public) court life. The documentary appendix enables the reader to complete the analysis proposed in the present paper.
