Lawyer, court attorney, farmer. The researchers Miguel Caballero and Pilar G\u00f3ngora attribute to him a cardinal role in the events that led to the escape of Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca from the Huerta de san Vicente farmhouse<\/a> to the house of the poet Luis Rosales<\/a> and his subsequent arrest and murder. The brothers Horacio and Miguel Rold\u00e1n were part, along with other individuals from Pinos Puente and the hamlet of Asquerosa (Disgusting) (now Valderrubio<\/a>), of the group of uncontrolled people who tormented the Huerta de San Vicente on August 9 under the pretext of finding the whereabouts of the landlord’s brothers, Gabriel Perea<\/a>, accused of having murdered Jos\u00e9 and Daniel Linares, brothers-in-law of Enrique Garc\u00eda Puertas, El Marranero<\/em>,<\/a> mayor of Pinos Puente after the military uprising. Angelina Cordobilla, the servant of the family of the Socialist mayor of Granada, Manuel Fern\u00e1ndez-Montesinos<\/a>, who was shot on August 16, witnessed the assault and said that Federico was also beaten by the mob.<\/p>\n

The Rold\u00e1n family, unlike the Garc\u00eda family, was conservative, despised liberals like the poet’s father, who became a councilman in the Granada City Council, and had their own political aspirations. In addition, between the two families there is an inextricable skein of misunderstandings and atavistic hatred.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The temporal and spatial coincidences of the two families suggest a deep persecution and enmity. Horacio studies at a high school in Malaga and then Law at the University of Granada. There he meets Francisco Garc\u00eda Lorca<\/a> and is taught by Fernando de los R\u00edos<\/a>, Federico’s advocate. The Rold\u00e1n family, unlike the Garcia family, was of conservative ideals, despised the liberals like the poet’s father, who became a councilman of the City Council of Granada, and had their own political aspirations. In addition, between the two families there is an inextricable skein of disagreements and atavistic hatred.<\/p>\n

Horacio belongs to a family of five siblings. Mar\u00eda, the eldest, is married to Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez S\u00e1nchez, an artillery captain who rebelled along with the commander Jos\u00e9 Vald\u00e9s<\/a>, the civil governor who led the repression in Granada. Miguel, the third of the brothers, accompanies Horacio in the raid he makes on August 9 on the Huerta de san Vicente. The fourth sister married one of the sons of Francisca Alba Sierra<\/a>, the woman who inspired The House of Bernarda Alba<\/em><\/a>,<\/strong> a play written in 1936 but not premiered until 1945 and in Buenos Aires, which further stoked the old animosity. A few days before the coup against the Republic, Federico announced in the press that he had finished The House of Bernarda Alba<\/em>, a play that, according to him, dealt with “Andalusian sexuality”. The news reached the heirs of Francisca Alba in Valderrubio.<\/p>\n

In many cases, the Rold\u00e1n family followed the wake of Federico’s father as if it were an arm wrestling match between rivals; Alejandro Rold\u00e1n, Horacio’s father, tried, like Federico Garc\u00eda Rodr\u00edguez<\/a>, to get a seat as a councilman in Granada for the Conservative Party, but he did not succeed. According to Caballero y G\u00f3ngora, the Rold\u00e1ns were linked by a close friendship with Juan Luis Trescastro<\/a>, the lawyer who, after Lorca’s murder, boasted in taverns of having given him “two shots in the ass for being a faggot.”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Horacio Roldan died on October 10, 1971 in Granada.<\/p>\n
