Alfredo Andrés Martín García

Alfredo Andrés Martín García is a Full Professor (Profesor Titular) at the Department of History, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, University of León. His research focuses on Early Modern History, Social History, Religious History, and Gender Studies.

His academic work extensively explores the Franciscan Third Order (VOT) in the Iberian Peninsula and colonial Americas, analyzing its medieval origins, 18th-century revival post-Trent reforms, and socio-economic bases. He has coordinated monographic issues on secular Franciscanism and studied female transgressions in Iberian ecclesiastical records.

Recent publications examine female sexual morality in Portuguese territories (2024), Trent-inspired relic cults in León (2019), and the role of printed propaganda in shaping Iberian religious identity (2017). His work often integrates quantitative analysis of archival sources, focusing on rural economies and communal land management.

He is affiliated with the research group 'CONCEJO' and has secured funding from the Ministry of Science and Innovation for studies on violence, conflict, and social control in the Iberian Northwest (16th-19th centuries).
