About veintiquatro

A veinticuatro or 'Caballero Veintiquatro' was an official title used in several Andalusian cities in pre-modern Spain, notably Úbeda, Baeza, Jaén, Córdoba, Seville, Jerez de la Frontera and Granada. The office or post itself was referred to as veintiquatría, and was largely equivalent to the role of an alderman or councilor in English local government. Only men of noble birth could be appointed as veintiquatro, and like many official positions, could be bought and sold among the Hidalgo noble class.
