Abstract
The discovery and conquest of the American continent attracted a part of the Spanish population that still saw the life of a knight as an ideal. A case in point is Juan de Ribamartin, a gentleman born in the Tobalina Valley (Burgos), who embarked on the voyage to New Spain to pursue a military career with a view to maintaining his family’s social rank and acquiring wealth commensurate with his social status. Despite his great endeavours in the Crown’s service for 35 years and travelling virtually all over the continent, putting both his person and his property at risk, Ribamartin was not rewarded as he deserved. He is an example of how, despite its awareness of the effort required to defend the new continent’s territories, the Spanish monarchy was unable to reciprocate in equal measure.
美洲大陆的发现和征服吸引了一部分西班牙人,他们仍然把骑士的生活视为一种理想。一个典型的例子是Juan de Ribamartin,一个出生在托巴利纳山谷(布尔戈斯)的绅士,他开始航行到新西班牙去追求军事生涯,目的是维持他的家庭社会地位并获得与他的社会地位相称的财富。尽管他为王室服务了35年,几乎走遍了整个大陆,冒着人身和财产的危险,里巴马丁却没有得到应有的奖励。他是一个例子,说明尽管西班牙君主制意识到需要努力保卫新大陆的领土,但它无法以同样的方式回报。
