Abstract
This study is dedicated to the use of the biblical figure Tubal in early modern
Iberian chronicles. The focus will be centered on how it is used in different ways
in the different kingdoms (Castile, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia, Portugal and the
Basque Provinces and Navarre) and what the authors are trying to achieve through
this. Results show that while Castilian authors try to prove Spanish antiquity
with the Tubal settlement, in other kingdom, especially in Catalonia, Portugal and
Navarre there is a more regional use of the myth. Most of these authors try to prove
that their own kingdom is the territory where Tubal settled, which would give a
pre-eminence of antiquity to it in comparison to the other Iberian territories.
