summary | The Della Rovere family were local nobles in Savoy with some regional influence but not significant enough for major alliances like marriage connections between Dukes or neighboring kings including France's royal family as seen by their hereditary honor during coronations when Duke was related through blood ties (a brother-in-law, cousin). The text suggests a need to explore and understand the family's origins further: where they came from; what resources did his parents have access to in terms of property ownership? Were there any immigrants or refugees within this family lineage. It also mentions considering if their father belonged to Occupation X - was he an influential figure, such as owning means of production (a 'bigwig owner') rather than a laborer ('a foot-in-the-door-of-power job'), and how that influenced his rise in power.
The text then probes into the family dynamics: who did siblings or extended relatives like uncles marry? Did this person start with connections to secure initial opportunities, as was seen by Sixtus' journey towards influence which 'shot him past hard work', contrasting it against someone working alongside others (like da Costa) for power. It also highlights how much of his rise in status and wealth came from the mother's side - a dimension often overlooked or erased historically.
The narrative implies that such historical knowledge is crucial to developing critical thinking skills, as advocated by humanities and social sciences disciplines which aim at revealing complexities behind apparent facts rather than just accepting them unquestioningly. |
