House of Zúñiga

December 15, 2023

The House of Zúñiga is a Spanish noble lineage who took their name from their domain. Various members of the family were distinguished in the service of the Spanish crown in Europe and the Americas as viceroys, governors, military, diplomats, writers and members of religious orders. Charles I of Spain in 1530 named two members of the family, the Duke of Béjar and Plasencia and the Count of Miranda del Castañar, among his Immemorial Grandees, while eight members of the family were inducted into the Order of the Golden Fleece.

Coat of arms of the House of Zúñiga

Roots and Origin edit

Sancho Iñiguez (1040-1110) was alférez mayor (a hereditary court office held by high nobility of the king's banner bearer and high military commander) of Alfonso the Battler, King of Aragón and Navarre, and lord of the estate and valley of Stunica (today Zúñiga / Estuniga), located in the district of Estella in Navarre. He was the first of the lineage who called himself Sancho Iñiguez de Stunica at the beginning of the 12th century.[1] Members of his house would later be variously known as Estunega, Estuniga, Astunica, Stunica, Estúñiga or Stúñiga.

Alvaro de Zúñiga y Guzmán, 1st Duke of Bejar and Plasencia, head of the House of Stunica/Estúñiga, castilianized the surname to Zúñiga after the pact of reconciliation with the queen of Castile and León, Isabella I (known as Isabel la Católica), signed on 10 April 1476.[2]

Coat of arms of the House of Zúñiga edit

The original coat of arms of the House of Zúñiga was a shield ground in gules (red) with a band in or (gold/yellow).[3]

 
A 19th-century version of the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1864) by Francisco de Paula Van Halen.

Sancho VII of Navarre changed his coat of arms to commemorate the victory at the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa on 16 July 1212, where he and his knights defeated the Black Guard of the Almohad caliph Muhammad al-Nasir, known as Miramamolin. He changed his coat of arms from an eagle in sable (black) to a shield ground in gules (red), a chain of or (gold/yellow) with eight links, and one green emerald in its center. The chain represented the stockade composed of the Black Guard and the emerald symbolized the caliph who was known by his nickname the Green.[4][5][6][7]

 
Official coat of arms of Navarre

The king's cousin Iñigo Ortiz de Stunica, 2nd Count of Marañón, Lord of Stunica, Mendavía and other towns, who participated with his son Diego in the defeat of the Black Guard at Las Navas de Tolosa, also changed his coat of arms adding a chain of or (gold/yellow) with eight links as border.[8][9][10][11] Other knights of Navarre who participated in the defeat of the Black Guard stockade also added the chain to their coats of arms including Ramón de Peralta, Rodrigo Navarro, Ortun Diaz Urbina, Pedro Maza and Iñigo de Mendoza.[12]

 
Coat of arms of the Duke of Béjar and Plasencia under the House of Zúñiga

In 1270, Iñigo Ortiz de Stunica's son Diego López de Stunica changed the coat of arms of his house to mourn the deaths of Louis IX of France and Theobald II of Navarre who both died during the Eighth Crusade called by Pope Clement IV. The coat of arms of the House of Zúñiga from 1270 onward has been a shield ground in argent (silver/white), a band of sable (black) and a chain in or (gold/yellow) with eight links as a border.[13][14]

Branches of the lineage edit

Civil war broke out in Navarre, beginning 1274, due to the quarrel over the tutelage during the minority of queen Joan I of Navarre and her matrimony with dauphin Philip IV of France the Fair, arranged by the queen mother Blanche de Artois (niece of Saint Louis IX of France). This was de facto an annexation of the Kingdom of Navarra by the crown of France.[15] Iñigo Ortiz de Stunica (1255-1315), lord of Stunica, alférez mayor of Navarre, refused to support the queen mother and left Navarra in the end of 1274 with his whole family. They took refuge in La Rioja (Castile).[16] The Stunica estates were seized in 1276 by the crown of Navarre.[17] The king Alfonso X of Castile and León the Wise recognized Iñigo as rico-hombre (belonging to ancient nobility) of Castile and gave him the domains of Las Cuevas, Bañares and another villages in La Rioja.[18] Iñigo was the progenitor of the following branches of the lineage of the House of Zuñiga:

  • of Fortun Ortiz de Stunica, son of Iñigo, who returned to the Basque Country, the branches in Guipuzcoa, Álava and Navarre
  • of Lope Diaz de Stunica, grandson of Iñigo, the branches of the lords of Azafra and Montalbo, counts of Hervías in La Rioja, and marquises of Tabuérniga
  • of Lope Ortiz de Stunica, great-grandson of Iñigo, the branches in Andalucía
  • of Fernán López de Stunica, great-grandson of Iñigo, the branches in Guadalajara
  • of Diego López de Estúñiga, great-great-grandson of Iñigo, principal personage of The House of Zuniga, lord of Zúñiga and Mendavía in the Kingdom of Navarre, Las Cuevas, Bañares, Béjar, Curiel, Monterrey and another villages in the Kingdom of Castile, was the progenitor of the following further main branches of the lineage:[19]
    • of Pedro, his firstborn son: the branch of the dukes of Béjar and Plasencia, diversified in the branches of counts of Miranda del Castañar, dukes of Peñaranda de Duero, marquises of La Bañeza, marquises of Benavente, marquises of Mirabel as well as of the branches of the dukes of Arión, of the marquises of Ayamonte, Villamanrique, Gibraleón, Aguilafuente, Valero, Alenquer and Villora
    • of Diego: the branches of the counts of Monterrey, marquises of Eliche, Monasterio, Tarazona, dukes of Medina de las Torres, and the branches of the counts of Pedrosa del Rey and marquises of Baides
    • of Iñigo: the branch of the counts of Nieva de Cameros
    • of Gonzalo: the branch of the marquises of Valencina
    • of Pedro Diego: the branch of the marquises of Flores Dávila

Hereditary titles and hereditary court offices edit

The firstborn branch of the dukes of Béjar and Plasencia received from the kings of Spain the hereditary title of First Knight of the Kingdom and the hereditary court offices of justicia mayor y alguacil mayor of Castile (hereditary court office doing by high nobility to assume the duties of justice and interior minister).[20][21]

Immemorial Grandee edit

In the realms of the Crown of Castile and León in the early 15th century there were only fifteen powerful families known as ricohombres (first nobility belonging) of Castile and León. The House of Diego López de Estúñiga was one of them. In 1520, the year of his coronation at Aachen (Germany) as Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, king Carlos I of Spain reorganized the title of his Kingdom of Castile and created 25 grandees, known as Inmemorial Grandees. The House of Zúñiga received two grandees, one for the duke of Béjar and another for the count of Miranda del Castañar, subrogated later on to the duke of Peñaranda de Duero.

Military Orders of Chivalry edit

Members of the lineage proved their nobility at diverse times serving in orders of knights like the Order of Santiago, Order of Alcántara, Order of Calatrava and Order of San Juan de Jerusalén (today the Order of Malta), and as well in the Order of Carlos III of Spain.[22][14]
