INTRODUCTION

 

 

The medieval señorío of Vizcaya corresponded approximately with the present-day Spanish province of the same name, which is one of the three provinces which comprise the Basque Autonomous Region.  According to Llorente[1], the first señores de Vizcaya were (in order): Lope “Zuria” [=el Blanco] (end-9th century), his son Munio López (also called Manso, early 10th century), his son Lope Muñoz (named in 939, and present with Fernando González Conde de Castilla at the battle of Hacinas), his son Munio López (whom he identifies as the husband of Velasquita de Navarra, end 10th century), his son Lope Muñoz (no references, his name reconstituted from patronymics), and the latter´s son Íñigo López “Ezquerra” (whom he identifies as Íñigo López who died in [1077], see below).  Llorente does not cite the primary sources which confirm the existence of these individuals and the relationships between them which he proposes.  His hypothesis appears based on the assumption that the señorío de Vizcaya was hereditary within the same family during the 9th to 11th centuries, but this seems far from certain if it can be compared with the other señoríos in the kingdom of Navarre during the same period.  In any case, it seems unlikely that the same family would have held power in Vizcaya throughout this period given the changes in suzerainty which the territory experienced, as discussed further below.  Llorente also catalogues various later works which trace the supposed origin of Lope “Zuria”[2].  Amongst these, the mid-14th century Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos states that "un…hermano del Rey de Inglaterra, expulso de allá…From" arrived in Vizcaya with "Fortun Froes su hijo" who was installed as señor by "en Asturias el Conde D. Moniño", to whom tribute of "una vaca, un buey i un cavallo blancos" had been paid by Vizcaya annually, payment of which was henceforth refused by "From"[3].  Lope García de Salazar, writing his Crónica de Vizcaya in 1454, recorded that “Jaun Zuria” (=el señor blanco) was the first señor de Vizcaya and that he was conceived in Scotland by the king´s daughter who had been exiled there by her father and born in Mundaca or, alternatively, that his mother was the sister of the Scottish king who settled in Mundaca, his father being named Munio[4].  The extent to which all these persons, it is assumed that all these individuals, cited only in these later sources, were fictitious. 

 

Llorente states that the first of his named rulers in Vizcaya, Lope Zuria, was the vassal of Alfonso III King of León and that the suzerain of his supposed son and successor Munio López was Fernando González Conde de Castilla[5].  Vizcaya was eventually consolidated with the kingdom of Navarre in the 1030s after Sancho III King of Navarre assumed control over Castile and large parts of León. 

 

Only two references have so far been identified, in the primary sources which have been consulted, which link named individuals to Vizcaya during the 9th to early 11th centuries.  The first is the Codex de Roda which names "domni Momi comitis Bizcahiensis" when recording his marriage to Velasquita, daughter of Sancho I García King of Navarre[6].  This does not specify Munio´s patronymic, and other sources appear to indicate that it may have been Velaz not López as stated by Llorente.  In addition, “Munio Velaz” is recorded in the cartulario of Valpuesta as Conde de Álava not Vizcaya[7].  The second reference is the charter of Leire monastery dated 13 Aug 1043 which is subscribed by “…Senior Eneco Lopiz de Bizcaia…[8].  He is also named later in the cartularies of Leire and Santa María la Real de Nájera (see below).  The dating of these first two references show that it is improbable, as suggested by Llorente, that Conde Munio who is named in the first entry was the grandfather of Íñigo who is named in the second.  In addition, a charter of Leire monastery dated 1042 is subscribed by “…Senior Lope Bellakiz et senior Galindo Bellakiz et senior Enneco Lopiz, confirmans…[9], the linking of the three names within the same phrase suggesting a family relationship between them.  The suggestion is that Íñigo López was the son of Lope Velásquez, named in this charter, and not the son of a hypothetical “Lope Munioz”. 

 

By the last quarter of the 11th century, Vizcaya was once again under the control of Castile, as shown by the dating clause of the 1076 charter of Íñigo López which names "regnante rege Adefonso in omni Yspania", referring to Alfonso VI King of Castile.  It should, however, be recalled that this year marked the beginning of the eclipse of the kingdom of Navarre, after King Sancho V was murdered and replaced by the king of Aragon on the Navarrese throne.  It is possible therefore that the king of Castile stepped in to claim jurisdiction over Vizcaya, as the primary source documentation shows was the case with the previously Navarrese señorío of Nájera.  A charter dated 1091 confirms that Alfonso VI King of Castile was suzerain of Conde Lope Iñíguez, son of Conde Íñigo López, and accords him the title "Aldefonsus imperator tocius Castelle et Toleto necnon et Nazare seu Alave"[10]

 

Another question relates to the extent of the autonomy, and possible sovereign status, enjoyed by the señores de Vizcaya.  Íñigo López (who died in [1077]) is named "senior…de Bizcaya" in sources dated between 1043 and 1047.  Charters dated between 1064 and 1074 name him as señor de Nájera.  In 1076, he was named "Sennor Enneco Lopez…tocius Vizcahie comes".  His son Lope Iñíguez is named "dominante Bizcahia et Ipuzcoa et Alava" in 1082 and "domno…in Alava in Bizcahia" in 1088.  Diego Iñíguez, son of Íñigo López, is named "dominante in Nagera et in Grannone" in 1110, and Diego´s son Lope Díaz (who died in 1170) is named "dominante Naieram" in a document dated 1162, but none of the documents so far found name either Diego or Lope in relation to Vizcaya.  No further references to "dominante" have been found applied to their descendants.  In the mid-13th century, use of the term "señor de Vizcaya" is found more frequently in primary sources, although after that time the family is normally referred to in relation to the señorío de Haro, which must have been considered more important by contemporaries.  Throughout this time-frame, no reference has been found in any contemporary documentation to indicate that the señores de Vizcaya called themselves "señor soberano de Vizcaya", which is the term frequently found in modern works dealing with the family and which implies a great deal more independence of action than is reflected in the primary sources.  In fact, the titles attributed to the family are no different from those used by other powerful noble families in the kingdom of Castile and León, as can be seen in the document CASTILE & LEON NOBILITY (1).  The señorío of Vizcaya passed by marriage to the descendants of a younger son of Alfonso X King of Castile in [1290]. 

 

The family of the señores de Vizcaya is treated in detail by don Pedro de Portugal Conde de Barcelós, illegitimate son of Diniz King of Portugal, in his Nobiliario, written in the mid-14th century, although the details of the early generations are suspect[11]

ÍÑIGO López, son of LOPE Velásquez & his wife --- (-[1077])Señor de Vizcaya.  “…Senior Eneco Lopiz de Bizcaia…” subscribed charters of Leire monastery dated 13 Aug 1043 and 1047[12].  “…Senior Enneco Lopiz de Bizcaya…” subscribed a charter dated 26 Dec 1046 of Santa María la Real de Nájera[13]Conde.  "Senior Enneco Lopez…comiti…cum uxore mea domna Tota" donated property to the bishop of Álava by charter dated 30 Jan 1051, confirmed by "sennor Lope Garceiz Arratiensis, sennor Lope Blascoz Baracaldonensis, sennor Sancio Annussoiz Aberacanensis, domna Leguntia Esceverrianensis"[14].  "Garsea rex et…Stephania regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 29 May 1053, confirmed by "…comite Enneco Lopez…"[15].  Gomesano Bishop of Calahorra granted property to "senior Eximino Furtuniones et senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 19 Mar 1058, confirmed by "…senior Enneco Lopiz…"[16].  A charter dated 7 Apr 1064, under which "Sancio Haperrez de Torriziella" donated property to the monastery of Valbanera, names "…sub eius Ienneco Lopez in Naira" in the dating clause immediately following the name of the king of Navarre[17]Señor de Nájera.  Many other documents in this edition of Valbanera charters also include his name in the dating clause between 13 Feb 1066 and 10 Jan 1075, as the only named "dominator" in a region of Navarre, indicating his relative importance at the Navarrese court during this period.  “…Senior Eneco Lopiz de Nagera” witnessed a charter dated 1065 under which “domna Sancha Auriel simulque filia mea Sancia Sancionis” sold properties to Leire[18].  “Comite Enneco Lopeç, dominator in Naiela…” confirmed a charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 7 Dec 1071[19].  "Sancius rex" granted the monastery of San Cosme y San Damián to "senior Enneco Azenari fidele meo" by charter dated 21 Aug 1072, confirmed by "…senior Enneco Lopiz dominator Nagera…"[20].  "Sancius rex…uxoris mee Placentie regine" granted property "in confinio Duranci…parties Bizcahie, nomine Ihurueta" to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, with the consent of "Ennecus comes et coniux mea Tota", by charter dated 26 Aug 1072, confirmed by "filiis…nostris…Lope et Garsia et Galindo et Fortunii…"[21].  "Sancius rex" donated property to Santa María de Pamplona by charter dated 22 Apr 1073, subscribed by "…senior Enneco Lopiz in Nagera…"[22].  "Sancius…rex" donated property to the prior of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 1073, confirmed by "…senior Eneco Lopiz comes dominator Nagera…"[23].  "Sanctius…rex Garsiani regis filius…cum coniuge mea domina Placentia regina" confirmed the properties of the monastery of San Miguel de Excelsis by charter dated 1074, subscribed by "Senior Enneco Lopiç dominans Nayara…"[24].  "Sancius…Nagelensis rex" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1075, confirmed by "…sennor Enneco Lopez, sennor Lope Ennecones…"[25]Conde de Vizcaya.  "Sennior Enneco Lopez…tocius Vizcahie comes" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, for the soul of "uxoris mee domne Tote", by charter dated 1076, witnessed by "Garsea et Galindo fratres mei, domna Mencia soror mea"[26]

6.         [NUÑA Iñíguez .  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  According to Llorente, her parentage and marriage are without foundation in contemporary sources[48].  The mid-14th Century Nobiliario of don Pedro de Portugal Conde de Barcelós names “doña Munega Iñiguez” as the only daughter of “Iñiguez Guerra señor de Vizcaya” and her marriage to “don Hernando, hijo del rey de Navarra, hijo bastardo[49].  The chronology of this part of the Nobiliario means that this “Hernando” could not have been the son of King García V.  The account is evidently confused and if this is the only source which confirms the parentatge and marriage of Nuña Iñíguez, it should be dismissed.  m FERNANDO de Navarra, Señor de Bucesta, Jubera, Lagunilla y Oprela, son of GARCÍA V "él de Nájera” King of Navarre & his wife Estefanía de Foix (-[1068]).]

LOPE Iñíguez, son of ÍÑIGO Lopez Conde and Señor de Vizcaya & his wife Toda Fortúnez (-before Jan 1094).  "Senior Enneco Lopez et uxor mea Totadomna" donated property "in Bizcahia…in Gorritiz…", for the soul of "filio nostro Sancio Ennecones", to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1070, confirmed by "filios nostros Lope Ennecones et Garcia Ennecones et Galindo Ennecones…"[52].  "Sancius rex…uxoris mee Placentie regine" granted property "in confinio Duranci…parties Bizcahie, nomine Ihurueta" to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, with the consent of "Ennecus comes et coniux mea Tota", by charter dated 26 Aug 1072, confirmed by "filiis…nostris…Lope et Garsia et Galindo et Fortunii…"[53].  "Sancius…rex" donated property to the monastery of Valbanera by charter dated 1074, witnessed by "…Comes Enneco Lopez dominator Nagera, illius filius Lope Ennecones dominator Alberiti…"[54].  "Sancius…Nagelensis rex" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1075, confirmed by "…sennor Enneco Lopez, sennor Lope Ennecones…"[55]Señor de VizcayaConde.  "Senior Fortun Albaroz…cum uxore mea domna Tota" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 26 Aug 1078, confirmed by "…comes Lope Ennecones…"[56].  "Sennior Enneco Lopiz" donated property to San Martín by charter dated 1081, witnessed by "…comite domno Lope in Alava…"[57].  “…Lope Ennecones Alabensis comes…” subscribed the charter dated 18 Apr 1081 under which “Ranimirus filius Garsie regis et Stefanie regina” donated property to Santa María de Nájera[58].  "Lupe Enneconis…prolis de comite Enneco Lupiz, dominante Bizcahia et Ipuzcua et Alava…cum consocia mea domna Ticlo" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter darted 17 Aug 1082, confirmed by "fratres mei Garcia Ennecones et Galindo Ennecones…"[59].  "…Comite domno Garsea, comite domno Lupe, Lope Sanchiz, Didaco Sanchiz, Lope Gonzalvez…" confirmed the charter dated 21 Jul 1087 under which Alfonso VI King of Castile granted rights to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla[60].  "Domna Tota Fortunionis de Cillegieta" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1088, confirmed by "…comite domno Lope in Alava in Bizcahia, senior Lope Lopez de Marangone…"[61].  "Aldefonsus imperator tocius Castelle et Toleto necnon et Nazare seu Alave" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de Cogollo, at the request of "comite domno Lope cum coniuge sua domna Ticlo", by charter dated 1091[62].  "Domna Sancia" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 13 Nov 1092, the dating clause of which names "…comes Lopez Ennekones in Alava et in Vizcaya…"[63]

m (before 1079) TECLA Díaz, daughter of DIEGO Álvarez & his wife --- ([1060 or before]-after 1104).  Tecla Díaz, wife of Lope Iñíguez, was the daughter of a Diego Álvarez, as shown by the charter dated 14 Mar 1079 under which "domna Ticlo, filia de senior Didado Alvarez" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, with the consent of "domno meo comite Lope Ennecones", confirmed by "comite Gundissalvo, sennor Didaco Alvarez pater meus, Martinus Sanchiz…"[64].  Two possible individuals named Diego Álvarez have been identified who could have been her father, firstly she could have been Tecla Díaz, daughter of Diego Álvarez señor de Oca & his wife --- (see ASTURIAS LEON NOBILITY), secondly Tecla Díaz, daughter of Diego Álvarez (son of Marcelo) & his wife Urraca Jiménez.  At first sight, the chronology seems to favour the first possibility.  However, the second case (which is assumed to be correct by Fortún Pérez de Ciriza[65]) is not impossible on the basis of the facts which are currently known.  The validity of this second case depends on confirming the approximate dates of birth of Marcelo´s children, which has not so far been possible.  If it can be assumed that Marcelo´s wife Andregoto was very old when she died, it is possible that their children were born in the late 1030s/1040s, which would be consistent with the wife of Lope Iñíguez being their granddaughter.  However, Marcelo and Andregoto´s other grandson Álvaro Muñoz “el Viejo” was alive in 1183, which seems inconsistent with this theory.  At present there is insufficient information to exclude either possible parentage.  Tecla is therefore shown in both places, until more information comes to light.  "Lupe Enneconis…prolis de comite Enneco Lupiz, dominante Bizcahia et Ipuzcua et Alava…cum consocia mea domna Ticlo" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter darted 17 Aug 1082, confirmed by "fratres mei Garcia Ennecones et Galindo Ennecones…"[66].  "Aldefonsus imperator tocius Castelle et Toleto necnon et Nazare seu Alave" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de Cogollo, at the request of "comite domno Lope cum coniuge sua domna Ticlo", by charter dated 1091[67].  "Domna Tecla cometissa…cum filiis meis" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de Cogollo by charter dated 1093, which names "domnus meus Lupus comes et eius pater Enneco Lopez" and is confirmed by "Didaco Lupez et frater meus Sancio Lupez et meus cognatus senior Gundissalvez Lupe et domna Tota et dompna Sancia et domna Tarasia, meis sororibus"[68].  "Tecla comitissa filia Didaco Albaroyz" donated her property at Villa Farta to Santa Maria de Pamplona for the soul of "comitis de Lupi de Alaua et Bizcaya mariti mei" with the consent of "filiis meis Didaco, Sancie et filia Tota et Santia et Taresa" by charter dated Jan 1094[69].  "Domna Ticlo cometissa" chose to be buried in the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1104, naming "meus pater Didaco Alvarez", and witnessed by "filios meos…Tota Lopez, Sancia Lopez, Didaco Lopez, Sancio Lopez, Teresa Lopez…"[70]

Chapter 2.    SEÑORES de VIZCAYA (CASTILLA) 1326-1370

 

 

After the death in [1288/92] of Diego López de Haro Señor de Vizcaya (see above, Chapter 1), the señorío of Vizcaya was inherited by his sister María, although this succession was challenged by her paternal uncle Diego López [V] de Haro.  María was the second wife of Infante don Juan de Castilla Señor de Valencia de Campos, who was a younger son of Alfonso X “el Sabio” King of Castile.  Their son Juan inherited Vizcaya from his mother but predeceased her in 1326, when the señorío was inherited by his only daughter María who later married Juan Núñez de Lara, son of Fernando de la Cerda who was the younger son of Infante don Fernando “él de la Cerda”, first son of King Alfonso X, whose sons had been deprived of their inheritance by their paternal uncle King Sancho IV.  Vizcaya was inherited in 1350 by Juan and María´s son, Nuño Díaz de Haro, who died childless and was succeeded by his older sister Juana who had married don Tello de Castilla, younger brother of don Enrique Alfonso Conde de Trastámara (the future King Enrique II).  Juana fell victim to the abuses of King Pedro I and was succeeded briefly by her younger sister Isabel, who was also killed on the orders of the king.  Both sisters died childless, which meant that the direct line of succession to the señorío de Vizcaya became extinct in 1361.  After declaring himself king in 1366, but before defeating King Pedro in 1369, Enrique de Trástamara purported to make a new grant of Vizcaya to his brother Tello.  No record has been found that the grant was confirmed by Enrique after his succession, but in any event Tello continued as señor de Vizcaya.  When Tello died in 1370 without legitimate heirs, he bequeathed Vizcaya to his brother the king.  Another claim to Vizcaya then emerged.  María, younger sister of Juan Núñez de Lara who had died in 1350, had married in France, firstly Charles d´Evreux Comte d´Etampes, and secondly Charles Comte d´Alençon (the younger brother of Philippe VI King of France), and claimed the señorío de Vizcaya on behalf of her sons.  She based the claim on her descent from Teresa Díaz de Haro, a younger sister of Diego [V] López de Haro who had unsuccessfully claimed Vizcaya on the death of his nephew Diego López in [1288/92] (see above).  The circumstances of the claim are described in full in Ayala´s Crónica de Enrique II which records in 1373 that “Doña Maria de Lara fija de Don Ferrando de la Cerda e de Doña Juana de Lara, hermana de Don Juan Nuñez de Lara Señor de Vizcaya, Condesa de Alanzon...primero casada en Francia con el Conde de Estampas...y despues...con el Conde de Alanzon, hermano del Rey Don Phelipe de Francia” claimed “las tierras de Lara é de Vizcaya” from Enrique II King of Castile[282]Ayala records that King Enrique accepted the claim, but on condition that the French claimants installed themselves in Spain, in the knowledge that their land-holdings in France were too important to leave.
