%X The issue of this article is the patronage or promotion of de chapels in gothic churches as a mean of consolidation of people's social prestige. All along the XIV century the cathedral and the three parishes of Sta. Maria del Mar, Sta. Maria del Pi and Sant Just in Barcelona had been rebuilt. Church authorities had expected that changuig the romanic churches into the the gothic style known today would be slow and expensive, that is why they decided to confer the new chapels to wealthy people who in turn were supposed to give the eclesiastical institution a generous donation. The promotors of these chapels were mostly merchants and royal civil servants who were at that time in the best social position. Most of them belonged to families who had achieved this position in the past, but we have concentrated in those who were the last ones to obtain better standards of social consideration. The monitoring of their social development has been done thoug legal documentation. El tema d'aquest article es el mecenatge o promoci¨® de capelles a les esgl¨¦sies g¨°tiques corn a instrument de consolidaci¨® del prestigi social. Al llarg del segle XIV es van renovar la catedral i les tres grans esgl¨¦sies parroquials de Barcelona: Sta. Maria del Mar, Sta. Maria del Pi i Sant Just. Les autoritats eclesi¨¤stiques van preveure, des del principi, que la transformaci¨® d'aquells temples rom¨¤nics en els g¨°tics de l'actualitat seria lenta i molt cara. Per aix¨° van decidir concedir les noves capelles que s'anaven construint a persones adinerades, a canvi que paguessin un gener¨®s donatiu. Els promotors d'aquelles capelles eren, majorit¨¤riament, mercaders i oficials reials, els sectors socials que mes van prosperar en aquell context. Bona part d'aquells promotors pertanyia a fam¨ªlies que ja havien iniciat l'escalada estamental anteriorment, per¨° nosaltres ens hem centrat en els que van protagonitzar nous ascensos socials. El seguiment de la seva traject¨°ria s'ha realitzat a trav¨¦s de la documentaci¨® notarial.
