José María de Selva y Mergelina Mergelina y Llorens was a descendant of two Levantine landowner families of Selva and Mergelina. Both have been dominant in the Alicantine town of Villena and inter-married a few times over the centuries. His ancestors and relatives can be traced back to the 16th century, some of them notable figures in Spanish history. His paternal grandfather Rafael Selva López de Oliver
(1820-1878) served as alcalde of the town. The family supported the Carlists since the First Carlist War; José’s father, Enrique Selva Mergelina López de Oliver y Selva (1852-1923), was in the late 19th century a vice-president of the Valencian Carlist Junta Provincial. José’s mother, María de la Trinidad Mergelina Llorens (1851-1924), was cousin of the Carlist Valencian leader Joaquín Lloréns Fernández and related to a number of noble families.
